Adding a volume to a consistency group

About this task

Add a volume from a consistency group at any time. If the volume is exported in a storage view, it will remain in the storage view.

Be aware of the following when you add volumes to consistency groups:

  • When you add a volume, the volume's visibility changes to the group's visibility. Enabling or disabling remote access provides information on changing a volume's visibility.
  • When you add a distributed volume, the group's rule set is applied to the volume.

Steps

  1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
    1. In a metro node Local:
      1. Select Provision Storage.
      2. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
    2. In a metro node Metro:
      1. Select Provision Storage.
      2. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the consistency groups.
      3. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
  2. In the Consistency Groups view, select the consistency group.
    The virtual volumes in the consistency group (if any) displays in the properties panel on the right.
  3. To add the virtual volumes, Click Add.
    The Add Virtual Volumes dialog box is displayed. The virtual volumes already in the consistency group are listed in the Selected Virtual Volumes list.
  4. Select one or more virtual volumes from the Available Virtual Volumes list, and then click Add to add them to the Selected Virtual Volumes list.
  5. Click OK.
    The results dialog box opens.
  6. Review the results, and then click Close.
