For details on Solaris version SynfinityCLUSTER /PRIMECLUSTER, see "Resources required for Solaris version SynfinityCLUSTER /PRIMECLUSTER" in this manual.

For details on Solaris version VERITAS Cluster Server, see "Resources required for Solaris version VERITAS Cluster Server" in this manual.

For details on Linux version PRIMECLUSTER, see "Resources required for Linux version PRIMECLUSTER" in this manual.

3.1.1 Resource required for Solaris version SynfinityCLUSTER/PRIMECLUSTER

The following resources are required when installing AdvancedCopy Manager on the Solaris edition of SynfinityCluster or PRIMECLUSTER.

  1. Takeover IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager

    Allocate an IP address that is used during cluster system operations and that is unique on the network. This IP address is required for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction.
    Fujitsu recommends preparing and adding a new logical IP address to be used by AdvancedCopy Manager.
    When allocating a new IP address, confirm that adding the IP address will not adversely affect other transactions, by checking whether any existing transactions use the IP address as a takeover resource.
    If an existing logical IP address is used, ensure that there are no problems (for example, restrictions) as a result of sharing the logical IP address between AdvancedCopy Manager and existing products already using the address.

  2. Partition where shared data for AdvancedCopy Manager is stored

    Prepare a partition on the shared disk that stores the shared data used by AdvancedCopy Manager.The number of partitions required is shown in the following table. Make sure that the required number of partitions are prepared for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction.Refer to "Capacity of a shared disk" for information on the disk space that should be reserved on the shared disk.

3.1.2 Resource required for Solaris version VERITAS Cluster Server

The following resources are necessary to install AdvancedCopy Manager on a Solaris version VERITAS Cluster Server:

    Fujitsu recommends preparing and adding a new logical IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager.
    When allocating a new IP address, check whether existing transactions use the IP address as a takeover resource, and make sure that adding the corresponding IP address has no adverse effect on transactions.
    To use an existing logical IP address, make sure that sharing the logical IP address with AdvancedCopy Manager does not cause a problem in (does not restrict) existing products that already use the logical IP address.

3.2 Capacity of a shared disk

The capacity of the shared disk of AdvancedCopy Manager is explained.

3.2.1 Shared disk capacity for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository 

There is no difference in the size of the AdvancedCopy Manager repository between ordinary operation and cluster operation. For information about estimating the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository, see "Calculation of Database space" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide.

3.2.2 Shared disk capacity for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data

The total value of 1 to 4 below

Storage Server transaction

The total value of 2 to 4 below

If the Tape Server transaction coexists with the Storage Management Server transaction, the total value of 1 to 5 below is required.
If the Tape Server transaction coexists with the Storage Server transaction, the total value of 2 to 5 below is required.


  1. Security operations

  2. Replication operations

  3. Backup operations

  4. Capacity required for cluster operation management data

    1,024[KB]

  5. Capacity required for Tape Server transaction management data

    A + 300[MB]

    "A" is the value that is given by the formula below, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 20 megabytes.

    If "m", "n" and "o" are the following values:

    m

    The number of backups held per transaction volume, including both generation management backups and day number management backups.

    Add up the number of generation management backups and day number management backups held.

    n

    The number of transaction volumes for which tape backups are performed.

    For Symfoware backup operations, this value is the total number of database spaces.

    o

    The total number of backups, restorations, and copies to tape that will be executed simultaneously.

    For Symfoware backup operations, this value is the total number of database spaces.


3.2.3 Capacity of Shared Disks for TSM

The capacity required for TSM shared disks is as follows:

Size of TSM database [MB] + 512 MB

The size of the TSM database is the value given by the formula below, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 4 megabytes, plus 1 MB.

If "m", "n" and "o" are the following values:

m

The number of backups held per transaction volume, including both generation management backups and day number management backups.

Add up the number of generation management backups and day number management backups held.

n

The number of transaction volumes for which tape backups are performed.

For Symfoware backup operations, this value is the total number of database spaces.


The size of the TSM database can also be used as the value when the TSM database is formatted.

3.3 Confirmation of items

When customizing it, the following items are needed in the Storage management server transaction and the Storage server transaction.
After understanding the meaning of each item, prepare and confirm the information to be entered for each cluster transaction to be set up.

Content of each item

3.4 Preparing the TSM Cluster Setup Information File 

When TSM server transactions are customized, the sizes of the TSM log and TSM database that are specific to the TSM server must be set in the TSM cluster setup information file (/opt/tivoli/tsm/ CLUS /tsmclsetup.ini), together with the parameters for the server option file (dsmserv.opt).First understand each of the following items, then prepare and check a TSM cluster setup information file for each cluster service (userApplication) set up.

The TSM cluster setup information file (/opt/tivoli/tsm/CLUS/tsmclsetup.ini) records information using the "ini" file format.The information recorded is as follows:
