BCV concept in hpunix

Hi Experts!

Iam wondering about the BCV concept.

Searched many sites nothing is giving good info.

I entered a new BCV setup.And is having some errors while taking BCV backup.

Before entering to the BCV ..I dearly need to understand about BCV.

Could any one help me atleast to understand the basics?

Any cheat sheet available for this?
Any basic docs?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Sree,
Can you be more clear on your question ? Are you talking about Business copy ? What is the storage involved here ? What is HPUX version ?

Hi,

We can't help you unless you provide us the exact type of the storage. There are many vendors and so many patents/docs in this topic.

hi sree, these are dependant of the storage models. Below two links are for two HP products.

on the host OS only the client is loaded which can initiate,terminate or mount the business copy volumes for various purposes.

I know that a wiki is not a reliable source, but this seems to be a good overview anyway:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Continuance_Volume

And here is a more detailed document:
