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 run on the source server, this operation finds all virtual volumes on the source server using the specified device class and all corresponding archive files on the target server. The specified device class must have a device type of SERVER. The target server inventory is also compared to the local definition for virtual volumes.

Device Class

Select the device class name for the virtual volumes you want to reconcile. If you do not specify a value for this field, all virtual volumes are reconciled.

Automatically Fix Problems Found

Specifies whether the server will try to fix the problems that were found. Select one of the options listed below. The default is No.

Yes Specifies that the server will make the following corrections:
  • Mark as unavailable storage pool volumes on the source server that cannot be located on the target server. Volumes only found in the volume history, such as database backups and import and export volumes, are reported as being inconsistent.
  • Mark for deletion from the target server archive files on the target server that do not correspond to any virtual volumes on the source server.
No Specifies that the server does not fix any inconsistencies.
