To do a QCopy task, please follow the below steps:

capacity needs to be greater or equal to the source capacity. (The target UDV capacity is equal or larger than the source UDV capacity.)

To do a QCopy task, please follow the below steps:

1.Take snapshot on the source UDV, for detail setup steps of snapshot, please refer to section 4.4.1. When setup UDV block size, please set 512B for the block size. The QCopy now supports 512B block size only.

2.Click QCopy icon “2.Click QCopy icon “” on the selected snapshot UDV” on the selected snapshot UDV

3.Input the remote iSCSI target IP, Click “Manual background”, and wait for a while, when webui recieves the target UDV information and corresponding LUN

4.Select remote target LUN of the target UDV which is for QCopy, Click

Manual background”, then there will be a pop-up window to ask user to dismount the target UDV from host/server first. This dismount step is to avoid any data inconsistence from others. After the target UDV is dismounted from host/server, then click “Yes” for confirmation.

5.When the QCopy is processing data, on the \Volume config\User data volume status colume, there will be an indicator “Manual background” for QCopy and completed percertage.

6.The source system will issue one “INFO” event describes the replication setting. E.g., INFO:Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:23:55 CST Qcopy start,

Target iqn.2004-08.tw.com.proware:iS16GL-000a00021:default- target,IP 192.168.10.187 ,Type Duplicate.

7.If the replication has been completed successfully, the source system will issue one “INFO” event describes the replication started at what time and completed at what time.

8.The source system will try to recoonect the target system when there is any network error or unstable transferring. And if the replication has been stopped for some interrupts, the source system will issue one “WARNING” event describes the possibility of the interrupts to stop the replication. The possibility to stop the replication may be “network link failure”, “the target system not reachable”, “connection fail”, and etc.

9.When the causes to the interrupts have been removed, the users can manually activate the QCopy replication again to restart the replication work. The source system will issue one “INFO” event describes the replication has been resumed.

When the QCopy is completed, user can delete the LUN of the target UDV for avoiding wrong operation or deleting data. When recovery is needed, the operation steps are the same as replication steps, user only needs to setup the QCopy service from target system reversely.
