Creating local replicas Create local replicas (snapclones, snapshots or mirrorclone copies) of the virtual disks that underlie a host volume, a host volume group or a host disk device. See snapclones , snapshots, and mirrorclones. Considerations • You can use the GUI or jobs to create the copies. See host volume actions cross reference. Procedure This procedure uses the GUI. 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. 2. Select the tab for host volumes, host volume groups, or host disk devices. 3. Select one or more host resources to replicate. 4. Select Actions > Replicate. The local replication wizard opens. Follow the instructions in the wizard. Creating round-robin replicas Create a job and schedule a job to produce replicas in a round robin rotation. Considerations • Round robin features for host volumes are only available in the GUI replication wizard. Procedure 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. 2. Select the tab for host volumes, host volume groups, or host disk devices. 3. Select the host resource to replicate. 4. Select Actions > Replicate. The local replication wizard opens. Complete pages 1 and 2 as desired. On page 3, Replication Options page, select Use Round Robin Replicas and select the number of replicas to keep in the rotation. 5. On wizard page 4, select an option that saves the wizard results as a job and enter a job name. Click Finish to close the wizard and save your round robin instructions as a job. 6. Manually run the round-robin job when needed, or schedule it to run automatically. See Scheduling job events. Deleting replicas Delete a host volume replica from the replica repository. Optionally, delete the virtual disks that underlie the replica. Considerations • You can only use the GUI to delete a replica from the repository. • The host volume replica repository contains only replicas that were created using the local replication wizard. • Deleting host volume replicas that were not created using the local replication wizard requires a different procedure. See deleting host volume resources. Procedure 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 4.0.1 131
