178 IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
2. The Specify Logical Drive Names window appears - here, choose names for the
FlashCopy logical drive and its associated repository logical drive. (Figure 8-60).
Figure 8-60 FlashCopy - Specify Drive Names
The default naming convention for the first FlashCopy is to use the base logical drive
name and add a suffix of “-1” for the logical drive and “-R1” for the repository drive. The
second FlashCopy uses 2 instead of 1. This is repeated up to the fourth logical drive.
For example, if you are creating the first FlashCopy logical drive for a base logical drive
called Data 1, then the default FlashCopy logical drive name is Data 1-1, and the
associated FlashCopy repository logical drive default name is Data 1-R1. The default
name of the next FlashCopy logical drive you create based on Data 1 is Data 1-2, with
the corresponding FlashCopy repository logical drive named Data 1-R2 by default.
Enter the names you want, or accept the defaults, and click Next.
Tips: Consider the following recommendations:
Regardless of whether you use the software-supplied sequence number that (by
default) populates the “FlashCopy logical drive name or FlashCopy repository
logical drive name” field, the next default name for a FlashCopy or FlashCopy
repository logical drive still uses the sequence number determined by the
software. For example, if you over-ride the name of the first FlashCopy of base
logical drive Data 1
DataVolMay28, the default name for the next FlashCopy of
Accounting is still
Data 1-2.
The next available sequence number is based on the number of existing
FlashCopies of a base logical drive. If you delete a FlashCopy logical drive, its
sequence number becomes available again.
You must choose unique names for the FlashCopy and FlashCopy repository
logical drives. Otherwise an error message is displayed.
