This is not required for a backup server.
When a primary volume exists in the backup server, the dictionary map files must be updated.
When the primary volume does not exist in the backup server, updating of the dictionary map
files is not necessary.
Setting up RAID Manager
To back up data by using Application Agent, you need to create a RAID Manager configuration
definition file (
horcm
n
.conf
, when n is the instance number) for each instance, to match the intended
usage.
The location of the RAID Manager configuration definition file (
horcm
n
.conf
) is as follows:
system-drive
\Windows
NOTE:
•
Do not specify a path to the configuration definition file in the
HORCM_CONF
environment variable.
•
When using the Device Manager agent on the same host as Application Agent, do not set the
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm
property in the
server.properties
file. For
details about the
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm
property, see the
HP P9000
Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
In Application Agent, a pair of a primary volume and secondary volume is managed as a copy group.
A copy group is defined by a combination of
dev_group
and
dev_name
specified in a RAID
Manager configuration definition file.
Application Agent does not allow duplication of copy group names on the same server. If more than
one RAID Manager instance is activated, make sure that the combination of
dev_group
and
dev_name
is unique among all the RAID Manager configuration definition files.
If the system contains both a copy group that is subject to Application Agent backup operation and
a copy group that is not subject to Application Agent backup operation, the conditions below must
be met. If an Application Agent command is executed when the conditions below are not met, pair
volumes that are not subject to backup operation will enter an unexpected state.
•
A copy group that is subject to Application Agent backup operation and a copy group that is not
subject to Application Agent backup operation must be defined with different
dev_group
names.
•
The primary volumes of all copy groups defined with the same
dev_group
name as a copy group
that is subject to Application Agent backup operation must be connected to a database server or
file server.
In addition, HP recommends that you define pair volumes that are not subject to Application Agent
backup operation in the RAID Manager configuration definition file (
horcm.conf
) of a RAID Manager
instance that is different from the one used by Application Agent.
Application Agent supports the
HORCM_LDEV
section of the RAID Manager configuration definition
file (
horcmn.conf
) if the RAID Manager version is 01-18-03/06 or later. Application Agent supports
the
HORCM_ALLOW_INST
and
HORCM_LDEVG
sections in configuration definition files (
horcmn.conf
)
if the RAID Manager version is 01-24-03/12 or later.
