When using a volume for the first time for replication operation or changing the MV partition size,
execute the steps given below for the target volume.
In data replication operation using ReplicationControl Ver3.2 or later, if NOTREADY is specified
for the UMOUNT_RVACC parameter in the replication operation option setting file, the mount
point (drive letter or NTFS folder name) is automatically deleted and the automatic mount becomes
unavailable at RV unmounting. On Windows 2000, the RV access restriction is changed to Not
Ready to suppress automatic volume mounting by Windows. However, this parameter is set to the
default that the automatic mounting is not suppressed. It is recommended that NOTREADY be
specified for this parameter to suppress automatic RV mounting for operation.
For details of this parameter, refer to Chapter 3 “Operation Settings” in the “Data Replication
Command Reference”.
On Windows Server 2003, use the MOUNTVOL command provided by the operating system to
suppress automatic volume mounting before operation.
To suppress automatic volume mounting, execute the MOUNTVOL command with specifying the N
option as follows:
MOUNTVOL
/N
Step 1. Creating MV partition
Using [Disk Management] (Windows), create partitions on a volume to be used for MV.
In a recommended partition configuration, one physical disk contains one partition.
Step 2. Creating file system
Create a file system on a disk of MV where a partition has been created and assign a drive letter to the
file system created.
