Table 1 General system requirements (continued)
RequirementItem
When both systems are P9500, you can use multiple path groups. This is done by
registering path groups with multiple path group IDs in the same storage system.
But note that only one path group can be specified for a mirror. Up to eight paths
can be registered in one path group.
Groups of logical paths, which allows you to configure or change the configuration
of multiple paths at the same time.
Path group
A maximum of eight logical paths can be registered in a path group
A maximum of 64 path groups can be set in a storage system.
The following Hexadecimal values can be set as the path group ID:
0-255 when connected to P9500
0 only when connected to XP24000/XP20000 Disk Array, XP12000 Disk
Array, or XP10000 Disk Array
For a mirror, the same path group ID must be used to connect the primary
storage system to the secondary system as is used to connect the systems in the
reverse direction.
The path group is specified during the create pair operation. It cannot be
changed by the resync pair or swap operation.
Path groups can be created and specified using RAID Manager. See
configuration setting commands in HP XP P9000 RAID Manager User Guide
and sample configuration definition files in HP XP P9000 RAID Manager
Installation and Configuration User Guide.
It is recommended that you specify different paths and path groups for Cnt Ac-S
and Cnt Ac-J secondary systems when using CU Free.
Volumes
A P-VOL may be copied to one S-VOL.
P-VOL and S-VOL must be equal in size.
P-VOL and S-VOL must be of same emulation type.
The maximum volume size of P-VOL and S-VOL is 4,194,304.000 MB
(8,589,934,592 blocks). However, when XP12000 Disk Array or XP10000
Disk Array is used as the primary or secondary system, the maximum volume
size is 2,949,120.00 MB (6,039,797,760 blocks).
The minimum volume size of P-VOL and S-VOL is 26.875MB (96,000 blocks).
When Cnt Ac-S is cascaded with Cnt Ac-J, a data volume may be copied to
multiple data centers.
Limited per P9500 system. See “Maximum number of pairs allowed ” (page 23).Maximum number of pairs
Supported RAID groups
RAID1, RAID5, and RAID6 are supported for both data and journal volumes.
RAID1, RAID5, and RAID6 can co-exist in the same journal.
Virtual LUN:Supported volume types
Can be used for data and journal volumes.
S-VOL capacity must equal P-VOL capacity.
Cache Residency:
Data volume: yes
Journal volume: no
LUN Expansion
Must be operable for primary and secondary systems to ensure pair creation
success. The remote system cache must be configured to adequately support Cnt
Cache and nonvolatile storage
(NVS)
Ac-J remote-copy workloads, as well as local workload activity. In general, increase
