Snapshots; Dynamic Volume And File System Creation - HP XP20000/XP24000 Configuration Manual

Snapshots

To take hardware snapshots on XP storage arrays, you must install the latest version of firmware
on the array controllers. Also, the latest versions of XP Business Copy and XP Snapshot must also
be installed on the array controllers. On the servers, you must install and configure the latest version
of RAID Manager, with both local and remote HORCM instances running on each server, and with
all file system LUNs (P-VOLs) controlled by the local instance and all snapshot V-VOLs (S-VOLs)
controlled by the remote instance.

Dynamic volume and file system creation

When the LUNs have been presented to all nodes in the cluster, import them into the cluster using
the GUI or the mx command. After the disks are imported, you can then use them to create dynamic
volumes and file systems, and mount them on the cluster nodes.
For details on importing and deporting disks, dynamic volume creation and configuration, and
file system creation and configuration, see the HP StorageWorks Scalable NAS File Serving
Software Administration Guide.
