Accessing a business copy lun

[Daniel Fourie]

Hi all

I would like to know how to access a business copy lun on hp-ux 11i. I have created a business copy of one of my lun's and want to access it on another system. Please help

Hi,

which disksubsystem you used for business copy? Which tool?

Do you want to access the BC-devices on another host?

Matrix,
here is how I do it.
1. Present the Business copy LUN to the other server
2. On the server scan the Business copy LUN in
#ioscan -fnC disk

3.Create all teh device files for the newly scanned LUN
#insf -e
Now the new LUN should be seen by
#ioscan -funC disk

4.On the original server export the volumegroup with the map file creation
#/usr/sbin/vgexport -p -v -s -m mapfile.map vg_name

ftp the map file mapfile.map over to the Business copy server

5. Now go ahead and create the directory on the Business copy server
#mkdir /dev/vg_name
6. Create the group file under this directory
mknod group c 64 Minornumber

7. Import the volumegroup in
#/usr/sbin/vgimport -v -s -m mapfile.map /dev/vg_name

8. create the mount point
#mkdir /mountpoint

9. Activate the volumegroup

#vgchange -a y /dev/vg_name

10. Mount the filesystems

That is it. If you need more help on any of these please let me know

thanks

...Also, Please have the Business copy in a split state after syncing to the primary,when mounting on the second server.
