Associating Mount Points and Units

Working with Users

When planning jobs, you may have discussions in which the users' computers and directories are mentioned. For example, someone may want to "do a weekly back up of my sales directory".

When you create an EVM job, however, you cannot select source units by the users' computer name and directories. The selection, instead, is by storage unit (e.g. D1, D4, D100) on the StorageWorks subsystem. Thus, you must maintain sufficient information to select the correct units.

 

Using EVM Storage View to Associate Units with Computers

By using the EVM Storage View, you can review storage units and determine the computers that are connected to each unit. Using this information, you can work with users to determine how best to configure the StorageWorks subsystem and design EVM jobs.
