Creating the schedule for volume sets

When you create a schedule to remote snapshot a volume that has associated volumes, the system

automatically creates remote snapshots for each associated volume. For information about volume

sets, see the HP P4000 SAN Solution User Guide.

The volume that you select when you create the schedule becomes the “owning” volume and the

schedule displays (O) next to it. Check that the Volume Set box displays all of the volumes that you

want to snapshot. It is possible that the owning volume is not aware of all associated volumes. If

it is not, select a volume that is aware of all associated volumes, and create the schedule there.

Updating remote snapshot schedule for volume sets

If you have a schedule to remote snapshot a volume and you add a volume to the volume set using

the application, the system cannot update the volume set information. You must delete the schedule

and create a new one to reflect the current volume set.

To create a schedule for a volume set.

1. In the navigation window, select the primary volume.

2. Click the Schedules tab.

3. Click Schedule Tasks, and then select New Schedule to Remote Snapshot a Volume.

4. Click Edit, and then select a Start At time.

5. Select a recurrence interval.

You can schedule a snapshot to occur every 30 minutes or more.

6. Select a retention interval for the primary snapshot, either number of days or number of

snapshots.

You can retain up to 50 snapshots for a volume.

7. To use the Application Aware Snapshot Manager to quiesce the application before creating

the snapshot, select the Application-Managed Snapshot check box.

8. Select the management group and volume that will hold the remote snapshots.

9. Log in if you need to.

10. Click New Remote Volume to use the wizard to create a volume if you need to make a new

one.

11. Set the retention interval for the remote snapshot.

You can retain up to 50 snapshots for a volume.

12. Click OK.

The Volume Associations Found window opens with a list of all volumes in the volume set.

13. Review the information about the volume set and the remote copies the schedule will create.

14. Click Continue.

The Primary and Remote Volume Associations window opens with the list of the primary

volumes in the volume set. The first volume is already set up and the next one in the list is

selected.

15. In the Remote Volume Setup box, use the Volume Name drop-down list to select the remote

volume to use for the selected volume.

All remote volumes must be set up to use the same remote management group. If you need to

create a remote volume, click New Remote Volume.

16. Click Update Pending Table Below to add this remote volume setup to the list at the bottom of

the window.
