The Snap Configuration tab contains properties that affect the behavior of the storage array in your environment.
Property |
Description |
---|---|
Storage Device Group |
The name of the Common Provisioning Group (CPG) group that is created on the storage array that you use for HPE 3PAR StoreServ clone or remote-replication operations. For clone operations, if you do not specify a CPG group, then the CPG group of the source volume is used for clone operations. For remote replication, if you do not specify a CPG group, then the first CPG group of the target array is used for replication. If you want to use a CPG group on the destination array, then you must specify the CPG group in the snapshot configuration of the source array. |
Use Device only from this Group |
If you select this option, then only snapshot devices that are available in the storage pool that is specified in Storage Device Group are used. |
SMIS Server Port |
The array Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) server port. The default value is 5988. |
Use secure connection to SMIS Server |
If you select this option, then the connection to the client uses secure socket layer (SSL). |
Mount Retry Interval (in seconds) |
The time interval (in seconds) after which the next mount operation is attempted. The default value is 300. |
Enable Parallel Snap Operation |
If you select this option, then you can run parallel snapshot operations. On UNIX computers, if you don't select this option, then only one operation can run at a time. Notes
To add or edit an additional setting, follow the steps in Add or Modify an Additional Setting. |
Enable Thin Provisioning |
If you select this option, then you can use a thin provisioning volume as the destination volume, even though the source volume is a standard volume. If you don't select this option, then the destination volume needs to be of the same type as the source volume (For example, a standard source volume can use a standard destination volume, and a thin provisioning volume can use a thin provisioning volume as destination.) |
Array Id of the target array for replication |
The array name of the target array for replication. |
Remote Snap MA |
The client name of the MediaAgent that you want to use as a Remote Snap MediaAgent. |
Use Asynchronous update mode for replication |
When selected, sets the asynchronous mode for replication. |
