Performing Universal Volume Manager Operations

 

Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Universal Volume Manager User’s Guide 

 

 

 

Cautions:

  

•

 

After you have executed the 

Disconnect Subsystem

 command, but 

you need to use the mapped external volume again, execute the 

Check 

Paths & Restore Volume

 command. 

•

 

To turn on the power supply of the external storage system to restart 

from the turned off status: 

–

 

Turn on the external storage system that contains the external 
volume, which is mapped as an internal volume. 

–

 

Execute the 

Check Paths & Restore Volume

 command of the 

Universal Volume Manager. 

•

 

When the external storage system is turned off after the 

Disconnect 

Subsystem

 command is executed, you cannot access the mapped external 

volume from the local storage system as you just turn the external storage 
system on. It is necessary to execute the 

Check Paths & Restore 

Volume

 command to resume using the mapped external volume. The 

Check Paths & Restore Volume

 command checks the defined 

information and the actual status of the external volume mapped as an 
internal volume. If the external volume is ready to be used as a mapped 

volume, the volume is set to accept the I/Os and you can resume using the 
volume as a mapped volume. 

Turning On or Off Only the Local Storage System 

To turn off the power supply of the local storage system (to turn off on 
purpose): 
1.

 

Stop the read or write I/O to the external volume that is mapped as a local 

storage system internal volume.  

2.

 

Perform other operations that are required before turning off the local 

storage system, if there is some. 

3.

 

Turn off the power supply of the local storage system. 

 

 

 

Note:

 

As you turn off the power supply of the local storage system, all the 

data, which is for the external volume, in the local cache memory is written 
in the external volume (all the data is destaged).
