A copy is executed for each LUN. With ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager, a copy can also be
executed for each logical disk (which is called a partition or a volume depending on the OS).
A copy cannot be executed if another function is running in the storage system or the target vol-
ume. For details on the functions that can be executed simultaneously, refer to "
Combinations of
Functions That Are Available for Simultaneous Executions" (page 203).
Backup (SAN)
Local Copy
The Advanced Copy functions offer the following copy methods: "Mirror Suspend", "Background
Copy", and "Copy-on-Write". The function names that are given to each method are as follows:
"EC" for the "Mirror Suspend" method, "OPC" for the "Background Copy" method, and "SnapOPC"
for the "Copy-on-Write" method.
When a physical copy is performed for the same area after the initial copy, OPC offers "QuickOPC",
which only performs a physical copy of the data that has been updated from the previous version.
The SnapOPC+ function only copies data that is to be updated and performs generation manage-
ment of the copy source volume.
● OPC
All of the data in a volume at a specific point in time is copied to another volume in the
ETERNUS
DX.
OPC is suitable for the following usages:
•
Performing a backup
•
Performing system test data replication
•
Restoring backup data (restoration after replacing a drive when the copy source drive has failed)
