(2) Operation procedure Step 1. Terminating applications (backup server)
To maintain data consistency, terminate or halt applications and specified services that are accessing the
volume concerned.
If shared folders are used on the volume concerned, cancel sharing temporarily.
If application or service has not been halted or terminated, or accesses to shared folder exist,
unmounting in step 3 fails.
(Example) Halting service
NET STOP (service name)
When halting a service “ESMCommonService”, specify as follows:
NET STOP ESMCommonService
Step 2. Flushing RV file system (backup ser ver)
Flush the RV file system and write the file system buffer data, not yet written, to the disk.
iSMrc_flush –drv H:
Thus, the following message appears and flushing occurs.
Flush Start 2001/02/21 12:27:01
disk11 dev002 WN
\\?\Volume{37d84cca-2507-11d5-a0f7-00004c714491}\
H:
Flush Normal End 2001/02/21 12: 27:01
disk11 dev002 WN
\\?\Volume{37d84cca-2507-11d5-a0f7-00004c714491}\

Step 3. Unmounting RV (backup server)
Unmount RV and cancel the volume and file system associations.
When the RV is unmounted, the mount point (drive letter or NTFS folder name) set for the volume is
automatically deleted. On Windows 2000, the RV access restriction is changed to Not Ready.
* Set NOTREADY for the UMOUNT_RVACC parameter in the replication operation option setting
file to suppress automatic RV mounting before operation.
Before unmounting, you must close all applications that may access the drive. Also read the
description about unmounting in Chapter 3 “Notes”.
