Reconciling Volumes

To reconcile differences in the virtual volume definitions on the source server and archive files on the target server, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

When issued on the source server, this command will find all virtual volumes on the source server using the specified device class and all archive files recorded in the target server inventory that are defined. The specified device class must have a device type of Server. The target server inventory will also be compared to the local definition for virtual volumes to see if inconsistencies exist. If a connection cannot be established to the target server the command will fail.

Device Class

Select the device class name of the virtual volumes you want to reconcile. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, virtual volumes for all device classes with device type of SERVER are reconciled.

Automatically Fix Problems Founds

Select an option.

Yes Specifies that volume reconciliation will occur. If you select Yes, you identify the inconsistencies between the target server and the source server, and make the following corrections automatically:
  • Volumes on the source server that cannot be located on the target server will be marked unavailable if they are defined in a storage pool. Volumes only found in the volume history, such as database backups and import and export volumes, are reported as being inconsistent.
  • Archive files on the target server that do not correspond to any virtual volumes on the source server will be marked for deletion from the target server.
No Specifies that no volume reconciliation will occur. If you select No, you identify the inconsistencies between the target server and the source server, but take no actions to fix any of the found inconsistencies. The default is No.
