Chapter 1 Installation Procedure

Step 7. Setting pair

Use the Replication Management (GUI) for setting a pair. In addition, the pair setting can also be

executed by using the iSMrc_pair command. By checking the vollist_data.txt that stores the Volume

List information created in step 4 and the volume displayed by the Replication Management, determine

the target disk for replication and set a pair.

For pair setting, note the following:

• The MV and RV disk capacities must be the same.

• The MV and RV disks must be the basic disks.

• A volume format must be “WN” or “A2”.

• In the recommended configuration, MV contains one partition for one volume.

When executing Replicate for RV for the first time, RV must be in the following state:

• In Windows 2000, RV must be in unassigned area.

• On Windows Server 2003, the disk to be used as the RV has the same partition configuration as the

MV. The drive letter is unassigned.

Step 8. Copying disk

Execute Replicate for the pair set in step 7 above. In this example, execute Replicate for logical disk

name dev001.

iSMrc_replicate -mv dev001 -mvflg ld -rv dev002 -rvflg ld

Then, the following start message appears and copying from MV to RV begins.

Replicate Start 2001/02/21 11:06:13

MV:10 dev001 WN

\\?\Volume{ce49f299-614e-11d5-b1df-009027520bce}\

RV:- dev002 WN

Step 9. Flushing MV file system

Flush the MV file system and write the file system buffer data, not yet written, to the disk. Assume

that the MV volume has been assigned to G:.

iSMrc_flush -drv G:

Then, the following message appears and flushing occurs.

Flush Start 2001/02/21 11:08:14

disk10 dev001 WN

\\?\Volume{822575dd-63d9-11d5-b1e0-009027520bce}\
