Detach Replication-Volume - HP P2000 G3 Cli Reference Manual

detach replication-volume

Description Prepares a secondary volume to be physically removed from a system.
When using the replication feature, if you chose to create a replication set's primary and secondary
volumes in the primary system, you can perform the initial replication and then physically move the
secondary volume's vdisk into the secondary system.
The process to move a secondary volume is:
1. In the system where the secondary volume resides:
a. Detach the secondary volume.
b. If the secondary volume's vdisk contains other secondary volumes, detach those volumes.
c. Stop the secondary volume's vdisk.
d. If the secondary volumes' snap pools are in other vdisks, stop those vdisks.
e. Move the vdisks into the secondary system. This system must support the link type that the
replication set is configured to use. For example, if the replication set's link type is configured
to use FC links, the secondary system must have FC ports.
2. In the secondary system:
a. Start the snap pools' vdisks.
b. Start the secondary volumes' vdisks.
c. Reattach the secondary volumes.
Detached volumes remain associated with their replication sets but are not updated with replication
data or with replication control information. When a volume is detached its status is shown as
Detached.
NOTE:
their snap pools. You are allowed to move other volumes along with secondary volumes and their
snap pools, but be sure that you are doing so intentionally.
NOTE:
enclosures, it is best if it is at the end of the chain of connected enclosures. If the enclosure is in the
middle of the chain, the enclosures must be cabled with no single point of failure, so that removing
the enclosure does not prevent communication between other enclosures.
