Basic Operation Business Copy and Continuous Access have virtually the same procedures
for setup. System A will “own” data located on a primary user volume set.
A running copy of this data will be maintained on a Business Copy of the
volume set.
At a customer defined time, the user will VSCLOSE the primary user
volume set and then split the primary user volume set from the Business
Copy volume set through the RAID manager.
After the split has been performed the user can then VSOPEN the primary
user volume set onto System A and continue operations. System B can now
VSOPEN the split off Business Copy volume set and proceed with its
operations.
System A Procedures
Setup System A The first time setup requires is as follows:
1. Create the LUNs and paths you will be using on the XP256 and then using Sysgen or IOCONFIG
create the LDEVs associated with the paths and LUNs. Make sure to use HPDARRAY as the ID
type. We will use the LDEV 60 through 62 for our examples.
Test that MPE/iX recognizes the new LDEVs by either rebooting and running ODE Mapper or if you
used IOCONFIG to issue the commands, use DSTAT ALL.
