HP XP RAID Manager Software - Manual (Page 36)

Because the ACL (Access Control List) of the Device Objects is set every time Windows starts-up,
the Device Objects are also required when Windows starts-up. The ACL is also required when new
Device Objects are created.
RAID Manager administrator tasks
1. Establish the HORCM (/etc/horcmgr) startup environment.
2. By default, copy the configuration definition file in the following directory: %SystemRoot%
Because users cannot write to this directory, the RAID Manager administrator must change
the directory by using the HORCM_CONF variable. For example:
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCM_CONF=C:\Documents and Settings\RMadmin\horcm10.conf
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCMINST=10
C:\HORCM\etc\>horcmstart [This must be started without arguments]
The mountvol command is denied use by user privilege, therefore “the directory mount” option
of RM commands using the mountvol command cannot be executed.
The inqraid “-gvinf” option uses %SystemDrive%:\windows\ directory, so this option cannot
use unless system administrator allow to write.
However, RAID Manager can change from %SystemDrive%:\windows\ directory to %TEMP%
directory by setting “HORCM_USE_TEMP” environment variable.
For example:
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCM_USE_TEMP=1
C:\HORCM\etc\>inqraid $Phys -gvinf
3. Ensure that RAID Manager command and the HORCM have the same privileges. If RAID
Manager command and the HORCM are executing different privileges (different users), then
RAID Manager command can not attach to HORCM (RAID Manager command and HORCM
are denied communication through the Mailslot).
However, RAID Manager does permit a HORCM connection through the “HORCM_EVERYCLI”
environment variable, as shown in the following example.
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCM_CONF=C:\Documents and Settings\RMadmin\horcm10.conf
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCMINST=10
C:\HORCM\etc\>set HORCM_EVERYCLI=1
C:\HORCM\etc\>horcmstart [This must be started without arguments]
In this example, users who execute RAID Manager commands must be restricted to use only
RAID Manager. This can be done using the Windows “explore” or “cacls” command.
OpenVMS installation
Make sure to install RAID Manager on all servers involved in RAID Manager operations. Establish
the network (TCP/IP), if not already established. RAID Manager is provided as the following
PolyCenter Software Installation (PCSI) file:
HITACHI-ARMVMS-RM-V0122-2-1.PCSI HITACHI-I64VMS-RM-V0122-2-1.PCSI
Follow the requirements and restrictions in “Porting notice for OpenVMS” (page 19) .
RAID Manager also requires that POSIX_ROOT exist on the system, so you must define the
POSIX_ROOT before installing the RAID Manager software. It is recommended that you define the
following three logical names for RAID Manager in LOGIN.COM:
$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL) SYS$POSIX_ROOT “Device:[directory]”
$ DEFINE DCL$PATH SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.usr.bin],SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.etc]
$ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX LNM$GROUP
$ DEFINE DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE
$ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
where Device:[directory] is defined as SYS$POSIX_ROOT
To install the RAID Manager software on an OpenVMS system:
1.
Insert and mount the provided CD or diskette.
