Create Host To Logical Drive Mappings; What Is Storage Partitioning; Volumecopy - Started - IBM DS3000 Introduction And Implementation Manual

Figure 8-75 VolumeCopy - Started
After the VolumeCopy has started, you can use Copy Manager (described in 10.3.6, "Manage
Logical Drive Copies" on page 235) to manage your VolumeCopies. There you must also
disable the Read-Only attribute for the target logical drive when the VolumeCopy has
completed.
Tip: After you have selected or created a target logical drive, give it a unique name so that
it is easily recognizable in the Array View. For example, if the source logical drive name is
Accounting, you could call the target logical drive Accounting_Copy. That way you can
quickly identify the source logical drives and target logical drives available on the storage
system. How to rename logical drives is described in 10.3.1, "Rename Logical Drives" on
page 221

8.6 Create Host to Logical Drive Mappings

This is the third part of the Configure tab (Figure 8-14 on page 143). We already covered
configuring the hosts (8.2, "Configure hosts" on page 142) and configuring the storage (8.3,
"Configure Storage" on page 154).
Now we will have a closer look at the Host to Logical Drive Mappings. First we need to
discuss storage partitioning.

8.6.1 What is Storage Partitioning?

Storage partitioning adds a high level of flexibility to the DS3000 storage server. It enables
you to connect to the same storage server multiple and heterogeneous host systems, either
