Adding redundancy to open-allocated volumes
Existing open-allocated volumes in the same storage system belonging to the
same host group (with the same LUN paths) can be converted to P-VOLs, and
the P-VOL data migrated to S-VOLs to create a global-active device pair.
Procedure
1. On the Resources tab, or by searching, locate allocated volumes to
convert into global-active device pairs.
2. Select the volume, and click Change to Global-Active Device
Volumes.
The Change to Global-Active Device Volumes window is displayed.
3. On the Primary tab, configure the following options:
a. Verify the displayed hosts, storage systems virtual storage machines
for the selected volumes.
b. Selected Volumes are allocated volumes eligible to become a P-VOL
in a global-active device pair. Details such as WWN, host group, and
volume characteristics are displayed.
c. In Pair Management Server Settings:
Select an available host as the pair management server. For Instance
ID, select Existing to use a current configuration definition file and
related instance ID number on the pair management server, or select
New to create a new configuration definition file, and enter a new
instance ID number which will be validated as an available instance
ID. You can also specify a UDP Port number for the instance.
