Configure Archive
Verify archive preparations
If archiving via Fibre Channel from a Profile XP or Open SAN system, be aware that
a single Profile XP system provides a maximum of four streams for concurrent
transfers. Keep this mind when configuring the archive device for concurrent
transfers. If the archive is configured such that it can request more than four streams
simultaneously from any single Profile XP system, the additional transfers will error
out.
For the type of archive device you use, check the following to verify proper operation
with the Aurora Transfer system.
Avalon archive preparations
Check the following on the machine which runs Avalon IDM Software (Archive):
1. Login to the machine and go to /avalon/aam/utils
2. Run stataam and verify all services running properly.
3. Make sure host tables are set correctly. Verify for the machine name/IP which IDM
will talk to.
4. If archiving from a Profile XP or Open SAN system, make sure the Fiber channel
interfaces are configured so that Avalon IDM can talk to the Profiles.
Consider the following when preparing to integrate Avalon archive with Aurora
Transfer:
• Avalon archive has no fixed limit for concurrent transfers.
FlashNet preparations
Check the following on the machine which runs the FlashNet software:
1. Login to the machine.
2. If archiving from a Profile XP or Open SAN system, verify that you can telnet to
the Profile XP Ethernet IP address on port 8192 (telnet keystone2_le0
8192
).
3. Verify that you can FTP from the FlashNet server to the high-res storage machine:
• If archiving from a Profile XP or Open SAN, verify that you can FTP from the
FlashNet server to the Profile on the Fibre Channel address and login as user
movie.
• If archiving from a AuroraShare NAS, verify that you can FTP from the
FlashNet server to the AuroraShare NAS on Gigabit Ethernet and login as user
vmfmovie.
4. Make sure the “FlashNet Socket Listener” and “FlashNet Automation” services are
up and running.
5. Use the FlashNet “Jukebox” application to test that a drive can be successfully
accessed from FlashNet. Refer to “User Guide for FlashNet running on Windows
NT and Windows 2000 platforms”.
Consider the following when preparing to integrate FlashNet with Aurora Transfer:
