Chapter 6 Customizing Tape Server Transactions

This chapter explains how to customize Tape Server transactions.

When setup has completed, do not move the resources used by Storage Management Server transactions or Storage Server transactions to other cluster transactions.

Refer to "Customizing Tape Server Transactions with the Solaris Edition of PRIMECLUSTER" for information about the Solaris edition of PRIMECLUSTER.

6.1 Customizing Tape Server Transactions with the Solaris Edition of PRIMECLUSTER

This section explains how to customize Tape Server transactions with the Solaris edition of PRIMECLUSTER. "Primary node" refers to the active node of the userApplication performing the Tape Server transaction. "Secondary node" refers to a standby node for the same userApplication.

6.1.1 Customization flow 

The setup flow is described below.

6.1.2 Detailed customization operations 

Use the following procedure to customize the Tape Server transaction:

  1. Restart the system.

    Restart both the primary node and the secondary node. If the system has already been restarted after installing AdvancedCopy Manager, proceed to step 2.

  2. Perform a preparatory check.

    Check each of the items in "Confirmation of items" for the userApplication being set up.

  3. Stop transactions.

    If a Storage Management Server transaction, Storage Server transaction, or Tape Server transaction is to be added to an existing userApplication, use the PRIMECLUSTER RMS main window to stop the userApplication.

  4. Mount the shared disk on the primary node.

    If the same server is used for both a Storage Management Server transaction and a Tape Server transaction, mount both the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository on the primary node.

    If the same server is used for both a Storage Management Server transaction and a Tape Server transaction, mount the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data on the primary node.

  5. Register port numbers.

    For the communications daemon for transactions (prepared beforehand in the /etc/services file), register port numbers using the following service name. Register the port numbers in the /etc/services file using a text editor such as vi, which is provided by the operating system.

    Register the same port numbers on both the primary node and all secondary nodes.

  6. Execute the cluster setup command for the Storage Management Server transaction or the Storage Server transaction on the primary node.

    Perform steps 6 to 13 in the procedure in "Customization Procedure" under "Customization of Storage Management Server Transactions and Storage Server Transactions".

    When the setup command completes, a message will display, suggesting that the cluster environment be set up on the secondary node. However, you should go on to execute the cluster setup command for the Tape Server transaction on the primary node.

  7. Execute the cluster setup command for the Tape Server transaction on the primary node.

    # /opt/swstorage/bin/tboclset_lxprm -n logical node name

    The logical node name is the logical node name specified with the cluster setup command executed in step 6 for the Storage Management Server transaction or Storage Server transaction.

  8. Check the setup target.

    Information will be displayed about the logical node specified with the command. Check the information, and then press the Enter key.

    /opt/swstorage/bin/tboclset_lxprm -n nodeMGR
    AdvancedCopy Manager Tape Server settings are as follows.
            Cluster system : PRIMECLUSTER
            Node type      : Primary
            Mount point    : /STGMGRDISK
            Node name      : nodeMGR
            Service        : manager_service
            Function       : Tape Server
    Do you want to continue with setting of AdvancedCopy Manager Tape Server cluster? [default:y]

    Enter "n" to cancel the cluster setup, or type "y" or press the Enter key to continue with the cluster setup.

  9. The cluster setup command for the Tape Server transaction on the primary node will complete.

    The completion screen for the cluster setup command will be displayed.

  10. Configure TSM cluster settings.

    Configure TSM cluster settings on the primary node. Refer to "Settings on the primary node" under "TSM Cluster Settings" for information on how to configure these settings.

  11. Unmount the shared disk on the primary node.

    If the cluster setup command for a Storage Management Server transaction has been executed, unmount both the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository on the primary node.

    If the cluster setup command for a Storage Server transaction has been executed, unmount the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data on the primary node.

  12. Mount the shared disk on the secondary node.

    If the cluster setup command for a Storage Management Server transaction has been executed on the primary node, mount both the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository on the secondary node.

    If the cluster setup command for a Storage Server transaction has been executed on the primary node, mount the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data on the secondary node.

  13. Execute the cluster setup command for the Storage Management Server transaction or the Storage Server transaction on the secondary node.

    Perform steps 16 to 19 in the procedure in "Customization Procedure" under "Customization of Storage Management Server Transactions and Storage Server Transactions".

  14. Execute the cluster setup command for the Tape Server transaction on the secondary node.

    # /opt/swstorage/bin/tboclset_lxprm -n logical node name
  15. Check the setup target.

    Information will be displayed about the logical node specified with the command. Check the information displayed, and then press the Enter key.

    /opt/swstorage/bin/tboclset_lxprm -n nodeMGR
    AdvancedCopy Manager Tape Server settings are as follows.
            Cluster system : PRIMECLUSTER
            Node type      : Secondary
            Mount point    : /STGMGRDISK
            Node name      : nodeMGR

    Resource attributes

    SubApplications

    Default

    InParallel

    Default

    NeedAll

    Default


    Additionally, create the resources required for TSM by referring to "Registering resources" in "TSM Cluster Settings".

    Refer to "Creating a Cmdline resource" and "Creating Resources and userApplications with Solaris-version PRIMECLUSTER" for information on how to create PRIMECLUSTER resources.

    The pre-settings that are made with the PRIMECLUSTER procedure resource settings (creating a state transition procedure and registering resources with the resource database) have already been made by the cluster setup command (stgclset_safe).

  21. Create and register transactions.

    Use the PRIMECLUSTER userApplication Configuration Wizard to create and register userApplications for AdvancedCopy Manager.

    Register the following resources that make up the userApplication:

    Some information must be registered as switchover file system information. This includes the mount point and slice on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data, and the mount point and slice for the shared disk where the AdvancedCopy Manager repository directory is located.

    Refer to "Creating Resources and userApplications with Solaris-version PRIMECLUSTER" for information on how to create userApplications with PRIMECLUSTER.

  22. For Storage Management Server transactions, configure WebServer settings.

    Configure WebServer settings on all nodes by referring to "Web Server Settings" in the Solaris OS edition ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide. If it is necessary to use a physical IP address for the WebServer, configure the settings so that the WebServer can be accessed from multiple IP address, including both the physical IP address and logical IP addresses. This allows a clustered AdvancedCopy Manager to access the WebServer via a logical IP address. Refer to the technical guide for each WebServer for information about these settings.

  23. Start the transactions and AdvancedCopy Manager.

    Use the PRIMECLUSTER RMS main window to start the userApplication that has just been created and any userApplications that were stopped in step 3.

  24. Back up the environment.

    Back up the following environments in case of any unexpected incidents:

  25. Create environments for the Storage Management Server transaction, the Storage Server transaction, and the Tape Server transaction.

    Create environments for the Storage Management Server transaction, the Storage Server transaction, and the Tape Server transaction by referring to the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide.
