•
Poll: Specifies the interval for monitoring paired volumes in increments of 10 ms. To reduce
the HORCM daemon load, make this interval longer. If set to -1, the paired volumes are not
monitored. The value of -1 is specified when two or more RAID Manager instances run on a
single machine.
•
Timeout: The time-out period of communication with the remote server.
If HORCM_MON will not be specified, then sets the following as defaults.
HORCM_MON
#ip_address service poll(10ms) timeout(10ms)NONE default_port 1000
3000
default_port:
For none specified HORCM instance: "31000 + 0"
For instance HORCM X : "31000 + X + 1"
(2) HORCM_CMD
The command parameter (HORCM_CMD) defines the UNIX device path or Windows physical
device number of the command device. The command device must be mapped to the SCSI/fibre
using the LUNM software. You can define more than one command device to provide failover in
case the original command device becomes unavailable (see
“About alternate command devices”
(page 41) ).
To enable dual path of the command device under Solaris systems, make sure to include all paths
to the command device on a single line in the HORCM_CMD section of the configuration file.
Putting the path information about separate lines may cause parsing issues, and failover may not
occur unless the HORCM startup script is restarted on the Solaris system.
When a server is connected to two or more storage systems, the HORCM identifies each storage
system using the unitID (see
Figure 13 (page 59) ). The unitID is assigned sequentially in the order
described in this section of the configuration definition file. The server must be able to verify that
unit ID is the same Serial# (Seq#) with among server when the storage system is shared by two or
more servers. For XP7 Storage, set the number to which 300,000 is added to the serial number.
This can be verified using the raidqry command.

dev_name for Windows
In the Windows SAN environment, "Volume{guid}" is changed on every reboot under
MSCS/Windows 2003/2008, if Windows finds the same signature on the command device
connected with Multi-Path. Therefore, the user must find NEW "Volume{guid}" and change
"Volume{guid}" described in the RAID Manager configuration file. RAID Manager supports the
