    Business Copy XP (BC) for the XP10000/XP12000 HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP (BC) maintains internal copies of user data on disk arrays for purposes such as data backup or duplication. Duplicate volumes are created on the same disk array as the primary volume at hardware speeds.

    • ”BC software on the Command View XP management station” on page 13 Figure 1 BC overview Use BC from the Command View XP management station or XP Remote Web Console to copy volumes in the local disk array. The volume that has original data is called a P-VOL (primary volume), and a volume to which data is copied is called an S-VOL (secondary volume).

    BC operations can be performed with External Storage XP operations to create pairs that use the external volumes as BC S-VOLs (or mirroring volumes) under the same conditions applied to the volumes in the local disk array. Refer to the HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide for more information.

    • You can use 30,718 differential tables if additional shared memory for differential tables is installed. NOTE: Contact your HP account support representative for more information about adding additional shared memory. NOTE: The maximum number of pairs you can create is 8,192, no matter how much shared memory for differential tables is available.
  • Page 16 80. • For Snapshot XP, see the HP StorageWorks Snapshot XP user guide. If BC is used in the same disk array as any of these applications, the number of available differential tables for BC pairs is the number of differential tables in the disk array minus the number of differential tables used by other applications.

  • Page 17: Calculating The Number Of Differential Tables For One Bc Pair

    Calculating the number of differential tables for one BC pair When you create a BC pair, the number of required differential tables changes according to the emulation type of the volumes. Use the equations in Table 4 to calculate the total number of differential tables per pair.

  • Page 22: Update Copy Operation

    CAUTION: If a copy operation is completed without any host I/O, the data in the P-VOL and S-VOL may not be the same. Whether the P-VOL and the S-VOL have the same data depends on the condition of the disk array. To make the P-VOL and S-VOL data the same, split the pair and make the pair status PSUS. NOTE: When creating pairs, you can select the pace for the initial copy operation: slower, medium, and faster.

  • Page 23: Cascade Function

    • If shared memory is lost (for example, offline micro exchange or volatile PS on), the differential bitmap is also lost. In this case, the disk array treats the entire BC P-VOL (S-VOL for COPY(RS) pairs) as difference data and recopies all data to the S-VOL (P-VOL for COPY(RS) pairs) to ensure proper pair resynchronization.

  • Page 24: Pairresync Operations

    want to finish the copy operation quickly in order to access the S-VOL, take the P-VOL offline before performing the operation. NOTE: Refer to the Table 8 for information about read/write operations from host servers to P-VOLS and S-VOLS of BC pairs during a pairsplit operation. Table 8 Read/write operations during pairsplit operations Operations...

  • Page 25: Backward Pairresync Operation

    • Normal. This operation (see Figure 4) resynchronizes the S-VOL with the P-VOL. The copy direction for a normal pairresync operation is P-VOL to S-VOL. The pair status during a normal resync operation is COPY(RS), and the P-VOL remains accessible to all hosts for read and write operations during a normal pairresync.

  • Page 26: Reverse And Quick Restore Pair Operations

    NOTE: The P-VOL remains read-enabled during the reverse pairresync operation only to enable the host to recognize the volume. Data on the P-VOL is not guaranteed until the reverse pairresync operation is complete and the status changes to PAIR. • Quick Restore.

  • Page 27: To Avoid Any Performance Impact Due To The Quick Restore Operation

    CAUTION: During a quick restore operation, the RAID levels, HDD types, and Cache LUN settings of the P-VOL and S-VOL are exchanged. For example, if the P-VOL has a RAID-1 level and the S-VOL has a RAID-5 level, the quick restore operation changes the P-VOL to RAID-5 and the S-VOL to RAID-1. This also applies to RAID-6 volumes.

  • Page 28: Bc P-Vol Forming Pair With Continuous Access Xp S-Vol And External S-Vol, Respectively

    NOTE: When a reverse or quick restore pairresync operation is in progress, you cannot perform paircreate, pairsplit, or pairresync operations for any other pairs sharing the same P-VOL (pairsplit-S and pairsplit-E are allowed).

  • Page 29: Pair Status And Time Required For Pairresync

    Pair status and time required for pairresync The pairresync operation can be performed on a split pair or suspended pair. This section describes the relationship between the pair status and the time required for pairresync operations. • Pairresync for split pair. When a normal/quick pairresync operation is performed on a split pair (status = PSUS), the disk array copies all flagged tracks from the P-VOL to the S-VOL.

  • Page 30: Bc Options

    Use the Pairsplit-S window (see ”Deleting BC pairs (Pairsplit-S)” on page 69) to delete BC pairs. When a BC pair is deleted, pending update copy operations for the pair are discarded, and the status of the P-VOL and S-VOL is changed to SMPL. CAUTION: The S-VOL of a duplex pair (PAIR status) may not be identical to its P-VOL due to the asynchronous BC update copy operations.

  • Page 31: Host I/O Performance Option

    The Quick Restore pairresync operation on a pair with status of PSUS exchanges data in the pair’s P-VOL and S-VOL. If you use the Swap&Freeze option when performing the Quick Restore pairresync operation, the update copy operation will not take place after the Quick Restore pairresync operation is complete. Therefore, data on the P-VOL and S-VOL is kept exchanged.

    You can define up to 1,024 BC pairs in a consistency group. However, for LUSE volumes containing n LDEVs, you should count as n volumes. For more information about LUSE volumes, see the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP10000/XP12000.

  • Page 35: Enabling The At-Time Split Function Using Raid Manager

    When the At-Time Split function is enabled, data in all P-VOLs in the same consistency group is copied to the corresponding S-VOLs when the disk array receives the pairsplit request from the host server. The following figure shows an overview of the At-Time Split function. Figure 13 Overview of At-Time Split function Enabling the At-Time Split function using RAID Manager...

  • Page 36: Pair Status

    NOTE: After the pairsplit, response time of the first I/O to each logical unit (LU) can be up to approximately five seconds in the worst case. This worst case should be in a one-to-three BC pair situation and 36 LDEV LUSE configuration. Pair status The BC remote console software displays the pair status of all BC volumes (LUs) on the specified port of the connected disk array.

When Read only. a split pair is resynchronized in reverse or quick restore mode, the disk array copies only the S-VOL differential data to the P-VOL.

    If you are using more than one disk array data management feature (such as BC, Continuous Access XP or Cache LUN) at the same time in the same disk array, contact your HP account support representative to ensure that your disk array is optimized for your configuration of concurrent operations. Each disk array feature can affect disk array performance and/or operation of other features.
