NOTE:
After you create snapshots for a volume set, you do not want to delete individual snapshots from the
snapshot set. You want to keep or delete all snapshots for the volume set. If you need to roll back to
a snapshot, roll back each volume in the volume set to its corresponding snapshot. The system gives
you the option to automatically delete or roll back all associated volumes.
To create a primary snapshots for volume sets:
1. Select a volume that is part of a volume set for the snapshot.
2. Log in to the management group that contains the volume for which you want to create a new
snapshot.
3. Right-click on the volume and then select New Remote Snapshot.
4. Click New Snapshot.
5. Select the Application-Managed Snapshot check box.
This option requires the use of the VSS Provider. For information about the requirements for
application-managed snapshots, see the HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solution user guide or
online help.
This option quiesces VSS-aware applications on the server before SAN/iQ creates the snapshot.
The system fills in the Description field and disables the Servers field automatically. You can
assign servers after the snapshot is created.
6. Enter a name for the snapshot or accept the default.
7. Click OK.
The New Snapshot—Associated Volumes window opens with a list of all volumes in the volume
set.
8. (Optional) Edit the Snapshot Name for each snapshot.
NOTE:
Be sure to leave the Application-Managed Snapshots check box selected. This option quiesces
the application before creating the snapshots. If you deselect the option, the system creates a
point-in-time snapshot of each volume listed.
9. (Optional) Edit the Description for each snapshot.
10. Click Create Snapshots to create a snapshot of each volume.
The Primary—Remote window opens with the list of the snapshots you just created. The first
snapshot is already selected.
11. In the Remote Snapshot Setup box, use the drop-down lists to select the remote management
group and volume for the selected snapshot.
NOTE:
If you need to create a new volume, select New Remote Volume.
12. In the Snapshot Name field, enter the name for this remote snapshot or accept the default.
