Refer to the HP 3PAR Implementation Guides for instructions on setting up connections from
hosts to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems and reserving LUNs with specific Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs) and Multipath configurations.
•
To use the Remote Copy feature, you must configure your HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems
for Remote Copy Software. The HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems must meet the requirements
specified in
“Recovery Manager for Oracle’s Remote Copy Requirements” (page 118)
. For
instructions on configuring storage systems for Remote Copy Software, see the HP 3PAR Remote
Copy Software User’s Guide.

To support Recovery Manager for Oracle on AIX virtualization environment (VIOS), AIX VIO
clients (LPAR/DLPAR) must be configured with N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) to provide direct
Fibre Channel connections from VIO clients to SAN Storage Server. SAN Storage Server can
be either direct attach or zoned using the switch for physical hosts. For VIO clients (LPAR's or
DLPAR's) storage, switch and Host Bus Adaptor (HBA) of the server must support NPIV feature
to be zoned.
In AIX, 32-bit applications can access only one segment (256 MB) of program data memory,
by default. Increase the amount of memory to 1.25 GB or an appropriate value: export
LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x50000000
which is 1.25 GB of memory per process (5 segments
of 256 MB). To make this setting permanent, add LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x50000000 at
the end of the /etc/environment file.
NOTE:
There is a maximum of 2 GB of memory per process for 32-bit applications
(0x80000000). Consult IBM's AIX documentation for more information.
In the following example, a VIO client is added on a VIO Server and a virtual FC adapter is
created and assigned to the client.
ibm710-vm1 / :-> lsdev -c adapter
ent0 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
ent1 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
fcs0 Available C3-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
vscsi0 Available Virtual SCSI Client Adapter
ibm710-vm1 / :-> lscfg -vl fcs0 | | grep Address
Network Address.............C05076052C240002 << WWN of virtual adapter
The Storage array is zoned to the WWN's of virtual adapter on clients.

NOTE:
To get more information on how to configure NPIV for AIX VIOS, see IBM website:
Installing Recovery Manager for Oracle on Linux Systems
Use the instructions in this section to install or upgrade Recovery Manager for Oracle on the
database and backup servers.
If you are not using the backup server as the NetBackup master server, be sure to install Recovery
Manager for Oracle on the NetBackup master server.
