Biker is correct.
We also use BCVs for something other than a backup for raw disks.
First, we use BCVs to take a snapshot of a production database for backup, but also to use as a Reporting function for our Accounting department. This gives them something to pull reports from the previous days business.
Second, We also use BCVs to copy Databases from one box to another for analysis and development purposes. This is much faster than trying to copy 1/2 a Terabyte or more of data from one box to another. No bandwidth is used up. Of course you need to have Volume groups and Filesystems defined on the second box by BCV with the disk devices that are associated with the Filesystems on the Primary box. Once you have that setup it is simply a matter of making the sync, breaking the mirror and then mounting them on the second box!
BCVs are very useful. You can go to https://powerlink.emc.com/login/registration.jhtml
There you can download documents that may help.

We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work.

Hi guys,
I'm running vxdmp and powerpath at the same time. Vxdmp for internal disks and powerpath for external.
The problem is that, on the failover tests which a fiber cable should be removed, the system cannot recognize the disks.
Any hints on how to configure powerpath in order to... (4 Replies)

I have a two x6270 solaris 10, blade, connected to a EMC x4 storage appliance via fibre.
I have little knowledge of veritasfile system, and EMC x4, storage device, but I found out that one DG is in shared mode.
I need to split the configuration, to use only one server (blade).

SoGLDriverDatabase(3) Coin SoGLDriverDatabase(3) NAME
SoGLDriverDatabase - The SoGLDriverDatabase class is used for looking up broken/slow features in OpenGL drivers. SYNOPSIS
#include <Inventor/misc/SoGLDriverDatabase.h> Static Public Member Functions static SbBool isSupported (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) static SbBool isBroken (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) static SbBool isSlow (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) static SbBool isFast (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) static SbName getComment (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) static void loadFromBuffer (const char *buffer) static void loadFromFile (const SbName &filename) static void addBuffer (const char *buffer) static void addFile (const SbName &filename) static void addFeature (const SbName &feature, const SbName &comment) static void init (void) Detailed Description The SoGLDriverDatabase class is used for looking up broken/slow features in OpenGL drivers. Coin will maintain a database of drivers where we have found problems with certain features, even if the OpenGL driver claims to support it. This is an effort to avoid application or operating system crashes when Coin attempts to use a specific feature. Using this database we can either disable this feature, or find another way to handle it for broken drivers. Member Function Documentation SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSupported (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) [static] Convenience function which checks whether feature is suppported for context. If feature is an OpenGL extension, it checks if it's actually supported by the driver, and then calls SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken() to check if the feature is broken for context. SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as broken. SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSlow (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as being slow. SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isFast (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as fast. SbName SoGLDriverDatabase::getComment (const cc_glglue *context, const SbName &feature) [static] Get the comment for feature in context, returns 'undefined' if the feature has no entry. Provides extensibility to the database. void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromBuffer (const char *buffer) [static] Load the driver database from buffer void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromFile (const SbName &filename) [static] Load the driver database from the file specified in filename void SoGLDriverDatabase::addBuffer (const char *buffer) [static] Add the XML data in buffer to the driver database void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFile (const SbName &filename) [static] Add the XML data in filename to the driver database void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFeature (const SbName &feature, const SbName &comment) [static] Add a feature to the driver database Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.
