The following resources are required when installing AdvancedCopy Manager on the Solaris edition of SynfinityCluster or PRIMECLUSTER.
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, any restrictions) as a result of sharing the logical IP address between AdvancedCopy Manager and existing products already using the address.
The 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 is prepared for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction. Refer to "3.2 Capacity of a shared disk" for information on the disk space that should be reserved on the shared disk.
Name | Storage Management Server transaction | Storage Server transaction | Tape Server transaction |
|---|---|---|---|
Shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager repository | 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 or 0 | 0 | 0 |
Shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Shared disk for TSM shared data | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Total number of partitions | 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 | 1 | 1+a*1 |
*1If a Tape Server transaction coexists with a Storage Management Server transaction, "a" is the total number of partitions for the Storage Management Server transaction.
If a Tape Server transaction coexists with a Storage Server transaction, "a" is the total number of partitions for the Storage Server transaction.
Each of the partitions of the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository is used for the database area stored in the following four directories:
The directory for the database file (This can be created on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.)
The directory for the RDB dictionary (This can be created on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.)
The directory for the RDB log file (This can be created on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.)
The directory for the repository data storage database space (This can be created on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.)
Note
Define the shared disks for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the AdvancedCopy Manager repository as SynfinityCluster or PRIMECLUSTER shared disks.
Allocate shared disks for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the AdvancedCopy Manager repository that are not involved in AdvancedCopy Manager backups or replication
The four directories can be created on the same shared disk that includes both the shared disk for the repository and the shared disk for shared data. However, in consideration of replicability and to upgrade the performance, Fujitsu recommends that each directory be created in a separate partition.
The shared disk shared data and the shared disk for the repository are used for file systems. Make arrangements for these disks to be mounted.
For details on how to set up PRIMECLUSTER shared disks and file systems, refer to the "PRIMECLUSTER Installation Guide".
Register these file systems (both the shared disk for shared data and the shared disk for the repository) as Fsystem resources in the procedure described in "Customization operation details" in this manual. Perform the steps described in the "PRIMECLUSTER Installation Guide".
For details on how to set up SynfinityCluster shared disks and file systems, refer to the "SynfinityCluster Installation Guide".
Use the shared disk for the repository and the shared disk for shared data as file systems. Perform the procedure in the "SynfinityCluster Installation Guide".
For information on TSM shared disks, refer to the TSM manuals.
