2. Rev. 1HP Confidential 2 Objectives Describe the similarities and differences between the snapshot copy and complete mirror copy methods of mirroring data Describe the BC pairs state transitions Diagram the BC pair tiers and label all Mirror Unit values for all volumes Describe the CV BC Swap and Freeze option Create multitier BC pairs in CV Explain the common BC terms 9 – 1

3. Rev. 1HP Confidential 3 BC XP overview BC is an XP array feature that creates local mirror copies (not snapshots) of LUs within an XP disk array at hardware speeds, providing asynchronous internal data backup You can make up to nine copies of the data in an XP array Volume naming conventions are the same as for CA – P-VOLs contain original data – S-VOLs contain duplicate data BC performs asynchronous copies to S-VOLs, which results in a decrease in acknowledgement time and an increase in throughput from the host BC operations can be performed from –SVP laptop in the XP disk array –RM XP on the host with command line control –CV XP 9 – 3

4. Rev. 1HP Confidential 4 Factors that affect BC operation times BC operation times depend on configuration Capacity of BC paired volumes P-VOL and S-VOL locations (same as different RAID groups, ACP pairs) HDD performance spindle speed RAID level (RAID1/RAID5) Time increases with increasing I/O load Copy Pace Parameter (slower/medium/faster) 9 – 4

5. Rev. 1HP Confidential 5 P-VOLs and S-VOLs When creating volume pairs, data on the P-VOL is copied to the S-VOL to synchronize the volumes. P-VOLs normally remain available to all hosts for read/write I/O, except during pair resync-restore. Changes are copied from the S-VOL to the P-VOL during pair resync-restore. S-VOLs become available for host write access only after the pair is suspended. Read operations to the S-VOL are available except when reads are disabled with the paircreate command. (-m noread option)  read does not make sense because data is “corrupted” While the BC volume pair is suspended, all changes to the P-VOL and S-VOL are logged in a track-level bitmap. Resync of the pair overlays on the S-VOL what changed during the suspend on the S-VOL plus what changed on the P-VOL (due to P-VOL and S-VOL updates). 9 – 4

6. Rev. 1HP Confidential 6 Asynchronous write detail The write operation is typical of cached arrays in which the I/O is acknowledged after it is in cache and then data is destaged asynchronously (and opportunistically) to disks. 9 – 5 XP disk array returns write complete to host as soon as data is written to cache memory Data in cache memory is asynchronously written to both the P-VOL and S-VOL Asynchronous write access to secondary volumes

12. Rev. 1HP Confidential 12 Business Copy (BC) At-Time Split (1) Applies to BC pairs that belong to a consistency group. BC consistency (CT) group can ONLY be created during paircreate process with RAID Manager XP interface Consistency (CT) groups are used with CA Async to time stamp I/Os to ensure concurrency and in order I/O delivery. CT groups (CTGs) ensure that when pairs are split, data in the Volumes is in a known state and can be used with data base logs. CV can perform operations on BC CT group pairs (At-Time Split configured pairs), but can not create the pairs (can split them, but not create them). 128 CTs on XP10247128 – 256 CTs on XP12000

13.

14. Rev. 1HP Confidential 14 At-Time Split functionality keep in mind: −CT cannot be defined within CV – you can only see it there −you should use one CT for one logical group of LDEVs within RAID manager −even with CT used, you can force to split a single pair within the group −do not use different CTs within one logical group BC atomic split limits: −now 256 consistency groups instead of 128 −up to 1024 BC pairs per consistency group −no mixture of Open System and Mainframe pairs per consistency group

23.

24. Rev. 1HP Confidential 24 MU#s The MU# is unique for a volume, but not for a pair — Both P-VOL and S-VOL could have an MU# of 0 Every BC/CA volume has an MU# A blank MU# is implied to be 0, and usable for either BC or CA An explicit MU# of 0 means the volume is usable for BC only A volume can have an implied MU# of 0 and an explicit MU# 0 –As a BC P-VOL with an implied or explicit MU# = 0 –As a BC S-VOL with an implied or explicit MU# = 0 Regarding BC –MU# = 0 is the number used by a volume/LU to keep track of its first pair –MU# = 1 is number used by a volume/LU to keep track of its second pair –MU# = 2 is the number used by a volume/LU to keep track of its third pair the S-VOL side of a cascaded node volume, leaf volume or simple S- VOL uses allways MU# = 0 9 – 14

25. Rev. 1HP Confidential 25 BC cascade notes: PAIRCREATE from root to leave ONLY –with CV you have to do this in one step –with RAID Manager you could do it one by one (and you could start with paircreate on L2 and add L1 pairs afterwards – will take longer for L1 than normal) –you cannot create more than one cascade (CV & RM will not allow this) PAIRSPLIT from root to leave ONLY no RESTORE is possible between L1 and L2 in 1:n relationships on L1, restores are possible with all other pairs on L1 being in PSUS state (steady and fast restore)

26. Rev. 1HP Confidential 26 other notes: in a PAIRSPLIT process (quick or normal) a PAIRSPLIT–S cannot be issued before all delta has been moved to S-Vol  monitor status of S-Vol moving from COPY to SSUS normally a PAIRSPLIT–S splits immediately while in PAIR state what is PAIRSPLIT-E doing: −marks complete S-Vol track table dirty −will enforce a full copy for RESYNC −will not allow a normal or quick RESTORE operation in normal RESYNC, PAIRSPLIT cannot be issued before PAIR state in normal RESTORE, PAIRSPLIT cannot be issued befor PAIR state in quick RESYNC, PAIRSPLIT can be initiated at any time in quick RESTORE, PAIRSPLIT can be initiated at any time, but you have to monitor the status moving PSUS  RCP  PAIR

27. Rev. 1HP Confidential 27 BC reservation used as filter for CV  when setting to reserved, change filter to see LDEV makes the potential S-VOL readonly gets erased when the pair is finally deleted  reservation is a one-time only flag

This provides a total of 10 copies of the data (1 master and up to nine copies of the master) L2 volume pair The volume pair at the second layer This layer contains an L2 P-VOL, which is also an L1 S-VOL, as well as the L2 S-VOL The L2 S-VOL is also called the leaf Leaf volume — This is the same as the L2 S-VOL 9 – 31

50. Rev. 1HP Confidential 50 Glossary (3 of 4) MU Every volume can have up to three MU#s associated with it. The MU# designates a pair for which the volume is a member. The MU# is not the number of the pair, but of the volume. A pair is made up of two volumes, of which each pair member could have the same or different MU#. –MU = 0 is the number of a volume for its first pair. –MU = 1 is the number of the same volume for its next pair. –MU = 2 is the number of the same volume for its third pair. The MU# of an S-VOL is always MU = 0. 9 – 32
