With -Instant Image, you can create an independent point-in-time copy of a volume or -a master volume-dependent point-in-time view. You can also independently -access the master and shadow volume for read and write operations. Instant -Image also lets you update the shadow volume from the master volume or restore -the master volume from the shadow. (Restore operations to volumes can be full -or incremental). Instant Image supports fast volume re-synchronization, letting -you create a new point-in-time volume copy by updating the specified volume -with only changed data. -.sp -.LP -To create a shadow volume you need a: -.RS +4 -.TP -1. -Master volume to be shadowed. -.RE -.RS +4 -.TP -2. -Shadow volume where the copy will reside. This volume must be equal to or -larger than the master volume. -.RE -.RS +4 -.TP -3. -Administrative bitmap volume or file for tracking differences between the -shadow and master volumes. The administrative bitmap volume or file must be at -least 24Kbytes in size and requires 8KBytes for each GByte (or part thereof) of -master volume size, plus an additional 8KBytes overhead. For example, to shadow -a 3GByte master volume, the administration volume must be 8KBytes + (3 * -8KBytes) =32KBytes in size. -.RE -.sp -.LP -The Instant Image module uses services provided by the SDBC and SD_GEN modules. -The SV module is required to present a conventional block device interface to -the storage product interface of the Instant Image, SDBC and SD_GEN modules. -.sp -.LP -When a shadow operation is suspended or resumed, the administration volumes may -be stored in permanent SDBC storage or loaded and saved to and from kernel -memory. The ii_bitmap variable in the \fB/kernel/drv/ii.conf\fR configuration -file determines the administration volume storage type. A value of 0 indicates -kernel memory, while a value of 1 indicates permanent SDBC storage. If the -system is part of a storage products cluster, use the 1 value (permanent -storage), otherwise use kernel memory (0 value). -.SH FILES -.sp -.ne 2 -.na -\fB\fBkernel/drv/ii\fR\fR -.ad -.RS 23n -32- bit ELF kernel module (x86). -.RE - -.sp -.ne 2 -.na -\fB\fB/kernel/drv/ii.conf\fR\fR -.ad -.RS 23n -Configuration file. -.RE - -.SH ATTRIBUTES -.sp -.LP -See \fBattributes\fR(5) for a description of the following attributes: -.sp - -.sp -.TS -box; -c | c -l | l . -ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE -_ -Architecture x86 -_ -Interface Stability Committed -.TE - -.SH SEE ALSO -.sp -.LP -\fBiiadm\fR(1M), \fBioctl\fR(2), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBsv\fR(7D) |
