Restrictions on Data Retention Utility Volumes
File systems using Data Retention Utility (Open LDEV Guard)
–
When using the UNIX file system volumes as the DRU/Open LDEV Guard, the volumes
must be mounted with Read Only option by setting the DRU/Open LDEV Guard after
the volumes are unmounted.
–
In case of Windows 2003/2008 file system, you have to use “-x mount” and “-x
umount” option of CCI commands with above procedures.
–
DRU/Open LDEV Guard volumes set to Write Protect Mode (Read ONLY) cannot be
used for the file system (NTFS, FAT) on Windows OS.
LVM (VxVM) on Data Retention Utility (Open LDEV Guard)
–
When operating the LVM volumes to be used by DRU/Open LDEV guard, LVM
commands may be writing the volumes, and then DRU/Open LDEV Guard should be
re-enabled.
Data Retention Utility (Open LDEV Guard) in HA Cluster Server
–
If HA Cluster software will be writing to the metadata at regular intervals in order to
confirm whether its disks are available or not, then DRU/Open LDEV Guard should
not be used in HA environments.
Dynamic disk on Windows systems
–
DRU/Open LDEV Guard volumes cannot be used to the dynamic disk, because the
dynamic disk does not handle the volumes set to Write Protect Mode (Read ONLY).
DRU/Open LDEV Guard volumes must be used for the Basic disk only.
LUN#0
–
Some operating systems cannot recognize LUNs over LUN#1, if LUN#0 is set to the
“inv” as the attribute of DRU/OpenLDEV Guard. This is because some HBA drivers do
not scan all LUNs on a port, if LUN#0 is invisible.
