Tru64 UNIX host volumes

General

The replication manager displays information about UFS, AdvFS host volumes and LSM logical
volumes on enabled hosts.

In a host cluster, only the volumes on the cluster's enabled host are displayed. See

Enabled

hosts

.

Local replication of UFS and AdvFS host volumes is supported. Local replication of LSM logical
volumes is not supported. See

Local replication

.

The replication manager does not support mounting a Tru64 host volume in a subdirectory of
/tmp.

Virtual disk guidelines

The following apply to virtual disks and containers.

Names. Up to 32 characters long. Names are not case sensitive but are subject to character
restrictions. See

Illegal characters

.

Size. When creating, the size must be specified in whole GBs (no decimals).

NOTE:

Some versions of controller software support virtual disks larger than 2 TB. The

following considerations apply to virtual disks larger than 2 TB:

Local replication (snapshots, snapclones, mirrorclones) cannot be used with them.

They cannot be a member of an HP P6000 Continuous Access remote replication group.

DC-Management cannot be used to expand or shrink them.
