Figure 8-66 FlashCopy - Specify Repository Full Policies
6. You are prompted for host mappings as in Figure 8-61 on page 179. Follow the
instructions given in step 3 on page 179 to complete your FlashCopy logical drive
configuration. The steps are identical to the automatic path.
You have completed the basic setup of your FlashCopy logical drives. More FlashCopy
functions are covered in 10.3.5, “Modify FlashCopy Logical Drives” on page 227.
Step 3: Restart host application
The FlashCopy is now created. You can restart the host application which was active on the
base logical disk (or take your database out of backup/quiesce mode).
8.4.5 Using the FlashCopy logical drive
You will use specific operating system and host utilities to mount and use the mapped
FlashCopy drive. The basic procedure is:
1. Run the host-based hot_add (or an operating-system specific utility) utility to register the
FlashCopy logical drive with the host operating system.
2. Run the host-based SMdevices utility to associate the mapping between the physical
device name and the logical drive name.
3. Mount the logical drive to the host. and use the FlashCopy’d volume as required - for
example, to take an application backup.
For information about specific procedures for Windows 2003, see “FlashCopy example -
Windows 2003” on page 525.
