Deleting virtual volumes
1. Change Command View XP or XP Remote Web Console to Modify mode. For instructions, see the
HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP
Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
2. On the V-VOL pane, select and right-click the V-VOL group containing the V-VOLs you want to delete
in the V-VOL group tree, and select Delete V-VOL Group. A confirmation message appears.
3. Click OK. The selected V-VOL group's icon changes to an icon indicating the deleting process.
4. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
5. Click OK. The confirmation message closes, and the V-VOL group is deleted in the array.
NOTE:
You cannot delete the V-VOL if it is used as a Snapshot XP pair's S-VOL. To delete a
V-VOL used as an S-VOL, first delete the pair.
Creating Snapshot XP pairs
Use the RAID Manager XP paircreate command to create Snapshot XP pairs. To create Snapshot XP
pairs, the following are required:
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 2 as a P-VOL
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 3 as an S-VOL
• Specify the same size volumes as a P-VOL and S-VOL
• Specify the same pool for pairs that share a P-VOL when you use a volume that is already used as
another pair's P-VOL for the new pair's P-VOL
For more information about the paircreate command, see the HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP
user guide.
Storing snapshot data
Use the RAID Manager XP pairsplit command to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store a
maximum of 64 snapshot data per P-VOL. To store snapshot data, the pair status must be PAIR.
NOTE:
When a P-VOL is paired with two or more volumes, ensure that none of the pairs are in COPY(RS-R)
status.
You can use the pairsplit command to store one snapshot data at a time, but you cannot specify the
snapshot data ID. For more information about the pairsplit command, see the HP StorageWorks RAID
Manager XP user guide.
NOTE:
Snapshot XP does not support Quick Split mode. If you specify Quick Split mode, snapshot data is not
be stored in the pool even if the command ends normally.
