HP StorageWorks EVA VDS and VSS Hardware Providers 6.05.00 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 release notes (T1634-96094, April 2010)

In a LUN resync operation, the source LUN is the LUN used for creating a shadow copy, and a

different LUN is a LUN that is not the source LUN of the shadow copy used for resync/restore.

LUN resync is supported on all EVA arrays except for the HP StorageWorks 3000 EVA Storage

System and the HP StorageWorks 5000 EVA Storage System.

The following resync scenarios are supported:

• Resync from a demand-allocated or fully-allocated snapshot to the source LUN

• Resync from a fractured mirrorclone to the source LUN

• Resync from a demand-allocated or fully-allocated snapshot of a mirrorclone to the mirrorclone

source LUN

• Resync from a snapclone to the source LUN

• Resync from a snapclone to a different LUN

The following resync scenarios are not supported:

• Resync from a snapshot to a different LUN

• Resync from a fractured mirrorclone to a different LUN

• Resync from a snapshot of a mirrorclone to a different LUN

• Creating a snapshot immediately after a LUN resync operation will fail if you do not restart the

VSS service after the resync operation. To restart the VSS service, run the commands Net stop

VSS and Net start VSS or select the Restart option for the VSS service listed in the service

control manager snap-in.

• After a LUN shrink operation using the VDS hardware provider, you must perform the Subsystem

Renumerate operation to update the LUN properties.
