Performing a FlashCopy from one volume to another volume
Perform the following steps to perform a basic FlashCopy from one Windows 2000
volume to another volume. Before you perform the steps, you must log on with
administrator authority. The following steps assume you are performing the steps
from the host with the FlashCopy target.
1. Perform the FlashCopy operation.
Note: If the ESS uses the volume serial numbers to do a FlashCopy on a
Windows 2000 host system, use the IBM Subsystem Device Driver to
obtain the volume serial numbers.
2. Restart the server that has the target volume.
3. From the taskbar, click Start → Programs → Administrator → Computer
Management → Disk Management to launch the disk management function.
This function assigns the drive letter to the target if needed.
If the volume is in the basic mode, you are finished.
If the volume is in dynamic mode, perform the following steps:
1. Perform the FlashCopy operation.
Note: If the ESS uses the volume serial numbers to do a FlashCopy on a
Windows 2000 host system, use the IBM Subsystem Device Driver to
obtain the volume serial numbers.
2. Restart the host machine (target).
3. From the taskbar, click Start → Programs → Administrator → Computer
Management → Disk Management to launch the disk management function.
4. Find the disk that is associated with your volume.
There are two panels for each disk. The panel on the left should read Dynamic
and Foreign. It is probable that no drive letter will be associated with that
volume.
5. Right click on the panel and select Import Foreign Disks. Select OK, then OK
again.
The volume now has a drive letter assigned to it. It is defined as Simple Layout
and Dynamic Type. You can read and write to that volume.
6. Run CHKDSK if requested by Windows 2000.
