HP StorageWorks P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.1 CLI User Guide (TB584-96026, May 2011)

When you use SnapShot in XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, HP XP24000, or HP XP20000 and pair
creation is executed automatically because PAIR_CREATE=ENABLE is specified in the RAID
Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat), there must be a pool area whose pool ID is 0.
Settings for using secondary volume dynamic recognition
If Application Agent is configured so that backups are taken from the secondary volumes to a tape
device, you can make the OS dynamically recognize the secondary volumes that connect to the
backup server. Making the OS dynamically recognize the secondary volumes prevents the secondary
volumes from being accessed via an operation that is not performed using Application Agent. This
helps ensure more reliable backup and restore operations.

secondary volume dynamic recognition functionality)
Specifiable values
(default)
DescriptionParameter
DISABLE or ENABLE
(DISABLE)
Specify this parameter if you want to make the OS
dynamically recognize volumes on the file/database
server or backup server.
If you specify DISABLE or omit the specification,
dynamic recognition of volumes is disabled. If you
specify ENABLE, volumes can be recognized
dynamically.
DEVICE_DETACH
Note
Of the physical disks connected to the device adapter port, do not use the LUN#0 disk for the
primary and secondary volumes if the secondary volume is to be recognized dynamically. If you
use the LUN#0 physical disk, the system might not be able to recognize the other physical disks.
Setting up operation mode when automatically selecting copy groups
Usually, Application Agent automatically selects the secondary volume used as a backup destination.
However, when Application Agent is copying data to multiple secondary volumes by locking the copy
group, one generation might be given different generation numbers. To avoid restoring data with a
generation number that does not always refer to the same generation, you can specify that a backup
operation will cause an error if a generation number does not always refer to the same generation.
