Mapping volumes

To continue HSM services when a volume or file server is renamed, you must create a hardware volume mapping.

1. In the HSM for Windows client GUI, click Tools > Volume Mappings The Hardware Volume Mappings window lists all local volumes that are assigned a drive letter and all MSCS cluster volumes that are online.

   If remote IBM Spectrum Protect™ server connections exist, you can see the hardware volume mappings that are defined on the remote HSM for Windows client. You can view the remote hardware volume mappings but not change them.

2. Select a volume and click Create.
3. Type the old host and volume information and click OK. The new mapping is displayed in the Hardware Volume Mapping Definition window. The mapping applies to all nested volumes on the selected drive.
4. After defining all hardware volume mappings, click Close. The Reconfirmation window displays all new mappings.
5. Optional: Test the mappings by clicking Scan for Problems. This test checks for files on the IBM Spectrum Protect server that is defined with the old mapping. The scan shows whether there are any migrated files at the old mapping. After the new mapping is applied, the migrated files at the old mapping are not accessible.
6. Click Yes to apply the changes. All HSM services receive notifications and apply the new mappings. HSM commands apply the new mappings the next time the commands are started.
