SnapShot O verview 1–1 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide 1 SnapShot Overview Snapshot creates virtual copie s of data volumes within Hitachi Simple Modular Storage systems. These copies can be used for recovery from logical errors.
1–2 SnapShot O verview Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Copy-on-Write SnapShot Software Hitachi’ s Copy-on-W rite Snapshot software creates virtual backup copies of any data volume within the Simple Modular Storage systems with minimal impact to host service or performanc e levels.
SnapShot O verview 1–3 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide • Figure 1-1: SnapShot functional components The following sections describe how these components work together . How SnapShot Works SnapShot creates a virtual duplicate volume of another volume.
1–4 SnapShot O verview Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Volume Pairs—P-VOLs and V-VOLs A volume pair is a relationship established by SnapShot between two volumes.
SnapShot O verview 1–5 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide • Figure 1-2: V-VOL Maintains SnapShot Data.
1–6 SnapShot O verview Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Data Pools After a snapshot, the V -VOL maintains a static copy of the P- VOL even as new writes are updating the P-VOL. T o do this, before an updated block is written to the P- VOL, SnapShot sends th e data tha t is being replaced to the data pool.
2 Planning and Design 2–1 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Planning and Design A backup insures that a volume with bad or missing data can be restored. With SnapShot you create copies of y our production data that can be used for backup and other uses.
2–2 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide The Plan and Design Workflow The SnapShot planning effort consists of finding the number of V -VO Ls yo.
Planning and Design 2–3 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Ideally , a business desires no data loss. In the real world, disasters occur and data is lost. Y ou or your organization’ s decision makers must decide the number of business tr ansactions, the number of hours required to key in lost data, and so on.
2–4 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide • If the snapshot is to be used as a disk -based backup available for online recovery , you can determine the lifespan by multiplying the number of generations of backup y ou want to keep on line by the snapshot frequency .
Planning and Design 2–5 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Establishing Data Pool Size The data pool holds data from the P- VO L that is being replaced. By holding this original data in the data pool , the mirror image of the V -VOL is maintained at the time of the snapshot.
2–6 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide 2. At the end of the period, con vert th e data to MB/second, if it is not already so, and import into a spreadsheet tool. Figure 2-3 shows collected r aw data, in megabytes per second in 10 minute segments.
Planning and Design 2–7 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide b. Pr es s E nt er . This instructs the tool to calcul ate the average v alue in cells B2 through B7 and populates C4 with that data. c. Copy the value in C4.
2–8 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide 5. Calculate the base data pool size for your primary/virtual volumes by multiplying the MB size of one V -VOL in Step 4 by the number of V -VOLs, which was established earlier .
Planning and Design 2–9 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide 3. Multiply the base data pool size by the number of V -VOLs. Thus: 4 V-VOLs x 625 GB = 2500 GB (2.5 TB) . Data Pool Key Points • The data pool must be on same controller as the P-VOL and V- VOL(s).
2–10 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Total PVOL size = 173.25 GB Total data pool size = 163.2 GB Thus: 173.25 GB / 5 = 34.65 GB 34.65 GB + 163.2 GB = 197.85 GB In this exampl e, the SnapShot ma ximum capacity is 197.
Planning and Design 2–11 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide b. Right-click the disk whose HLUN you want to know , then select Properties . The number displayed to the ri ght of “LUN” in the dialog window is the HLUN.
2–12 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide Linux and LVM Configuration A host cannot recognize both a P-VOL and its V -VOL at the same time.
Planning and Design 2–13 Hitachi Simple M odular Storage Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide If any one of the dynamic disks is left unhidden, a Miss ing drive occurs. When this occurs, delete it manually using the diskpart delete command (CCI required).
2–14 Planning and Design Hitachi Simple Modular Storag e Copy -on-Write SnapShot User’s Guide • Copy dynamic disk volumes that consist of two or more LUs only after hiding all LUs from a host. When the copy is completed, you can have them recognized by a host.
