How to mount S-VOLs on Windows Servers

The following is a small synopsis of the steps that you will need to follow when scripting HUR/TC/SI/CoW operations using CCI on Windows. Without using all of these steps, you will have one problem or another - disappearing data or filesystems that appear "corrupt" from a Windows perspective. An explanation of the Windows CCI subcommands (the -x options) can be found in the latest CCI user guide.

Windows retains information in its filesystem buffers from previous mountings of volumes. Therefore, it will appear that updates to S-VOLS aren't reflected in the actual device.

This is a problem with the MS Windows filesystem buffer. The fix is the following:

 

On the S-VOL side

for each mounted S-VOL

  • raidscan -x sync <drive-letter>
  • raidscan -x umount <drive-letter>

 

On the P-VOL side

 

  • pairresync -g <group-name>
  • raidscan -x sync <drive-letter>
  • pairsplit -g <group-name>

 

On the S-VOL side

 

  • raidscan -x mount <drive-letter>: <harddisk-number>

 

Note

  • raidscan -x drivescan harddisk0,n

will give you the harddisk numbers for all the LDEVs visible to the host.How to mount S-VOLs on Windows Servers
