ValidateHost, ValidateHostVolume • Agent and license prerequisites. Requires a host agent. • Command result value. Host volume name (UNC). For a complete list, see command result values. • OS specifics. Yes. See examples above. HP-UX. If the source host volume uses HP-UX PVLinks for multiple paths, the replica will have only one path defined. If necessary, you can use PVLinks to add paths to the replica after the job is finished. Windows. Creating the host volume on the same host as the original may produce undesirable results. Windows writes a signature to the disks and the same signature will be on both the source and the new copy. • This command uses the previously replicated, underlying storage of an existing host volume. See also CreateHostVolumeDiscrete. • The storage is presented to the target host, and the storage structure of the source host volume is reconstructed on the target host. The new host volume is not mounted. • To mount the host volume, use the MountHostVolume command. • See resource names and UNC formats. CreateHostVolumeDiscrete Creates a new host volume by presenting the storage volumes that underlie a host volume to an enabled host. Syntax and arguments When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are: CreateHostVolumeDiscrete ( %component%, %storvol_unc_name%, %target_host% ) Partition/Slice (%component%). Enter the type of host volume component on the source host. HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 4.0.1 99

Comments
Associated validation commands

ValidateHost
,
ValidateHostVolume
Agent and license prerequisites
. Requires a host agent.
Command result value
. Host volume name (UNC). For a complete list, see
command result values
.
OS speci
cs
. Yes. See examples above.
HP-UX
. If the
source
host volume uses HP-UX
PVLinks
for multiple paths, the replica will have only one
path de
ned. If necessary, you can use PVLinks to add paths to the replica after the job is
nished.
Windows
. Creating the host volume on the same host as the original may produce undesirable results.
Windows writes a signature to the disks and the same signature will be on both the source and the
new copy.
This command uses the previously replicated, underlying storage of an existing host volume.

CreateHostVolumeDiscrete
.
The storage is presented to the target host, and the storage structure of the source host volume is
reconstructed on the target host. The new host volume is not mounted.
To mount the host volume, use the
MountHostVolume
command.
See
resource names and UNC formats
.
CreateHostVolumeDiscrete
Creates a new host volume by presenting the storage volumes that underlie a host volume to an enabled
host.
Syntax and arguments
When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
CreateHostVolumeDiscrete ( %component%, %storvol_unc_name%, %target_host% )
Partition/Slice
(%component%). Enter the type of host volume component on the source host.
