Step 3. Checking RV volume
In Windows 2000, using [Disk Management] (Windows), check that the disk to be used as RV is in an
unassigned area. If signature is not found, execute “Signature Disk” here. If RV has partitions,
delete them and place the area in unassigned state.
On Windows Server 2003, use [Disk Management] (Windows) to create partitions on the disk to be
used as the RV in advance so that the disk has the same partition configuration as the MV. At this
time, do not assign any drive letter.
Step 4. Creating Volume List
On each host on MV and RV sides, create a Volume List using the iSMvollist command of the
ReplicationControl.
Create the Volume List as follows:
iSMvollist –cr
When creating the Volume List has succeeded, the following message will appear:
iSMvollist: Info: iSM11701: Volume list is created successfully.
Output the Volume List information to the vollist_data.txt.
iSMvollist -a > vollist_data.txt
* After changing the logical disk name using the iSM, you must update the Volume List.
* To use a control volume, before creating a Volume List, select and register the control volume using
the Define Control Volume function from the Volume List Display screen.
Step 5. Saving disk signature
Execute the following command for each host on MV and RV sides and save the signature for the
replication target disk.
iSMrc_signature -read -all
Step 6. Backing up disk signature
Back up the disk signature saved in step 5 above, by executing the following command on each host on
MV and RV sides:
iSMrc_signature -export file-name –all
* For the file-name, specify an arbitrary file name.
* This backup is performed to enable the disk signature to be restored to its saved status when an
incorrect disk signature has been written due to an operation error.
