Configuration and
Operation
Make sure you understand the proposed configuration before beginning.
Step 1. Host Groups and Logical Device (LDEV) mapping:
Host groups 00 on ports CL1-A and CL2-A already should be set to Windows host
mode (0C).
LUN Security should not be set. We have only one host per port, and that host
needs to access all LUNs mapped to the port.
LDEVs should already be mapped to the host-connected ports. These will be used
as P-VOLs (CL1-A) and S-VOLs (CL2-A). Be sure to note port, host group, and LUN
numbers for later reference.
o CU 00 Eight 2GB OPEN-Vs mapped to CL1-A as LUNs 000-007
Usage: TrueCopy and Universal Replicator P-VOLs
o CU 02 Sixteen 2GB OPEN-Vs mapped to CL2-A as LUNs 010 017 and

LUNs 020-027.

Adding ShadowImage In-System Replication to the 3DC Configuration

Overview
Overview
ShadowImage Heterogeneous Replication software is a storage-based hardware
solution for duplicating logical volumes which reduces backup time and provides full
volume replicas of P-VOL data. The user can choose to make up to nine copies of each
P-VOL in an open systems environment.
Since each S-VOL is paired with its P-VOL independently by the use of differential
bitmaps, each pair can be maintained as an independent copy set that can be split,
suspended, resynchronized, and deleted separately from the other pairs using the
same P-VOL.
Note: You will use the Universal Replicator S-VOLs created in a previous lab activity as
ShadowImage P-VOLs. Your ShadowImage S-VOLs will be selected from LUNS 020
through 027 mapped to CL2-A. Refer to the configuration document created in lab
Activity One if necessary.
ShadowImage Mirror IDs

The diagram below illustrates the Universal Replicator and ShadowImage Level 1
