Procedures CentricStor - Virtual Tape Library
2.6 Procedures
2.6.1 Creating the CentricStor data maintenance
Initial situation: CentricStor is installed and configured. As yet, there is no data on the
RAID system. The tape cartridges of the robots are blank.
To start CentricStor, the PLM and VLM data maintenance facility must be created:
Figure 13: CentricStor after the VLM and PLM data maintenance have been created
1. The names of the logical volumes which are to be loaded into the RAID disk array later
are entered in the VLM data maintenance (see the section “Logical Volume Operations
» Add Logical Volumes” on page 211).
In the example, these are the logical volumes LV0000 to LV2000. These volumes still
do not contain any data.
2. The names (VSNs) of the physical volumes present in the robots which are to be used
in CentricStor are entered in the PLM data maintenance (see the section “Physical
Volume Operations » Add Physical Volumes” on page 223). In the example, these are
the volumes PV0000 to PV0100.
3. The logical volumes are made known in BS2000/OSD (example of a storage location:
“VTLSLOC”).
CentricStor is then ready for operation.
