Creating EMC disk groups for VSS differential snapshots that use EMC TimeFinder Snap

Use the following procedure.

To create EMC disk groups for VSS differential snapshots that use EMC TimeFinder Snap

  1. Create a disk group to contain any number of primary and secondary disks.
    symdg create nbfim_test

    Creates a disk group named nbfim_test.

  2. Add primary disks to the disk group.
    symld -g nbfim_test add dev 02A

    Adds a primary disk 02A to disk group nbfim_test.

  3. Add a VDEV disk to the disk group.
    symld -g nbfim_test add dev 08C -vdev

    Adds the VDEV disk 08C to the nbfim_test disk group.

    When these commands are successfully entered, NetBackup can make snapshot backups with primary device 02A and its target VDEV 08C.
