Snapshots To take hardware snapshots on XP storage arrays, you must install the latest version of firmware on the array controllers. Also, the latest versions of XP Business Copy and XP Snapshot must also be installed on the array controllers. On the servers, you must install and configure the latest version of RAID Manager, with both local and remote HORCM instances running on each server, and with all file system LUNs (P-VOLs) controlled by the local instance and all snapshot V-VOLs (S-VOLs) controlled by the remote instance. Dynamic volume and file system creation When the LUNs have been presented to all nodes in the cluster, import them into the cluster using the GUI or the mx command. After the disks are imported, you can then use them to create dynamic volumes and file systems, and mount them on the cluster nodes. For details on importing and deporting disks, dynamic volume creation and configuration, and file system creation and configuration, see the HP StorageWorks Scalable NAS File Serving Software Administration Guide. 178 HP Clustered Gateway deployments

Snapshots
To take hardware snapshots on XP storage arrays, you must install the latest version of firmware
on the array controllers. Also, the latest versions of XP Business Copy and XP Snapshot must also
be installed on the array controllers. On the servers, you must install and configure the latest version
of RAID Manager, with both local and remote HORCM instances running on each server, and with
all file system LUNs (P-VOLs) controlled by the local instance and all snapshot V-VOLs (S-VOLs)
controlled by the remote instance.
Dynamic volume and file system creation
When the LUNs have been presented to all nodes in the cluster, import them into the cluster using
the GUI or the
mx
command. After the disks are imported, you can then use them to create dynamic
volumes and file systems, and mount them on the cluster nodes.
For details on importing and deporting disks, dynamic volume creation and configuration, and
file system creation and configuration, see the
