FlashCopy is a point-in-time copy of a source logical drive.
Allows for up to 4 FlashCopies per volume.
NOTE: As a standard
configuration, 2 FlashCopies are enabled on every DS3000 storage
subsystem and this premium feature enables up to 64 FlashCopies. |

License (1 license per DS3000) - NEW! |

VolumeCopy is a way to provide a
complete point-in-time copy of a source logical drive. As opposed to
FlashCopy (where only the original values of changed data are copied
to the repository), the whole source logical drive is copied to
target. You can use this functionality for data replication,
relocation, backup, or to restore snapshot data to the original
logical drive. The time required to establish a copy will depend on
the size of the source data and the operation priority settings.
While establishing the copy, the source logical drive will be in
read-only state. Once all the data is copied to the target,
the target will remain available if the source logical drive is
lost. NOTE: The VolumeCopy
premium feature allows for up to 128 VolumeCopies. Be aware that
FlashCopy is a prerequisite for VolumeCopy. |

Storage partitioning adds a high level of flexibility to the
DS3000 Storage Server. It allows you to connect a much higher number
of host systems, either in stand-alone or clustered mode. Without storage partitioning, the logical
drives configured on a DS3200 can only be accessed by a limited
number of host systems or by a single cluster. This can
surely lead to inefficient use of Storage Server hardware. Storage
partitioning, on the other hand, allows you to create sets,
containing the hosts with their host bus adapters and the logical
drives. We call these sets storage partitions. Now the host systems
can only access their assigned logical drives, just as if these
logical drives were locally attached to them. Storage partitioning
adapts the SAN idea of globally accessible storage to the
local-storage-minded operating systems. Storage partitioning lets
you map and mask LUNs (that is why it is also referred to as LUN
masking). That means once you have assigned the LUN to a host it is
hidden from all other hosts connected to the same Storage Server.
Therefore, the access to that LUN is exclusively reserved for that
host.
NOTE: DS3400 comes standard with 4 storage partitions. |
