Data Protection Facility Specifications - Hitachi VSP F1500 User And Reference Manual

Data Protection Facility specifications

Only the permitted volumes can be registered in horcm.conf. When creating
the horcm.conf file, describe volumes only from the view that the host
shows. CCI manages mirror descriptors (TrueCopy, ShadowImage/
MU#0/1/2) as a unit. The Data Protection Facility has two specifications: one
must be a volume that you can see from the host such as the Inquiry tool,
and the other must be a mirror descriptor volume that was registered in
horcm.conf. The following table shows the registration for the mirror
descriptor.

Unknown: Volumes that own host cannot recognize, even though volumes were registered in
horcm.conf.
• CCI permits operation after the permission command at startup of
HORCM. The target is volume that was registered in the horcm.conf file.
• The permission command is necessary to permit the protected volume at
first. The permission command compares an identification for volumes of
horcm.conf to all of own host volumes, and the result is registered within
HORCM. And HORCM makes tables for protected volume and permitted
