Setting up Application Agent for linkage with RAID Manager
Do not set
HORCMINST
or
HORCC_MRCF
in the system environment variable. Also, do not set
HORCM_CONF
or
HORCMPERM
in the system environment variable or the user environment variable.
For the RAID Manager settings, add or change the parameters in the RAID Manager-linkage definition
file (
DEFAULT.dat
). However, do not delete or modify the following parameters since they are used
internally by Application Agent:
•
VENDER
•
PRODUCT
The location of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (
DEFAULT.dat
) is stored in the following
location:
Application-Agent-installation-folder
\DRM\conf\raid
Note
Application Agent does not support RAID Manager's Protection Facility. If you link to RAID Man-
ager, disable its Protection Facility.
Specifying instance numbers
For parameters
HORCMINST
and
HORCMINST_AUX
, specify the instance number of the RAID Manager
instance. The specified instance number must be equal to the instance number used in the RAID
Manager configuration definition file name (n in
horcm
n
.conf
) on the server.
Notes
•
To utilize, for example, the volume replication function within the storage system when the RAID
Manager instance for managing the primary volumes and the RAID Manager instance for managing
the secondary volumes are on the same server, specify the instance numbers as indicated below:
• Specify both
HORCMINST
and
HORCMINST_AUX
.
For instance numbers to specify for
HORCMINST
and
HORCMINST_AUX
, see
• The values for
HORCMINST
and
HORCMINST_AUX
are reversed when specifying settings for
either file servers and database servers, or for backup servers.
•
To utilize, for example, the volume replication function between storage systems when the RAID
Manager instance for managing the primary volumes and the RAID Manager instance for managing
the secondary volumes are on separate servers, specify the instance numbers as indicated below:
• Specify only
HORCMINST
(not
HORCMINST_AUX
).
For instance numbers to specify for
HORCMINST
, see
.
• The RAID Manager instances specified in
HORCMINST
must be started on each server.
•
If a RAID Manager instance which is not located on the server is specified in
HORCMINST_AUX
,
an error message indicating failure to start the RAID Manager instance is output to the application
log. If the instance is not associated with the subject of processing, processing of the Application
Agent command will continue despite this error message. Also, the result of the command will not
be affected.
•
It is recommended that you start the RAID Manager instances specified in
HORCMINST
and
HOR-
CMINST_AUX
before executing a Application Agent command.
•
When specifying multiple instance numbers in
HORCMINST
and
HORCMINST_AUX
, write each
instance number on a separate line, as shown below:
HORCMINST=0
