The following resources are necessary to install AdvancedCopy Manager on a Solaris version Sun Cluster:
Takeover IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager
Allocate a new IP address that is unique in the network for use in cluster system operations. One IP address is required for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction.
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 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 (that is, it does not restrict the use) in existing products that already use the logical IP address.
Partition where shared data for AdvancedCopy Manager is stored
Prepare sufficient partitions on the shared disks on which to store shared data for AdvancedCopy Manager. The table below lists the numbers of required partitions. Note that the listed values indicate the number of partitions required for every AdvancedCopy Manager transaction. For more information about the size of the shared disks for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data, see "3.2 Capacity of a shared disk".
Name | Storage management server transaction | Storage server transaction |
|---|---|---|
Shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager repository | 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 or 0 | 0 |
Shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data | 1 | 1 |
Total number of partitions | 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 | 1 |
Each of the four 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 repository database storage space (This can be created on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.)
Note
Define the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository as the shared disk used by Sun Cluster.
Assign a disk that is not backed up or replicated using AdvancedCopy Manager as the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data, and the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository.
The four directories can be created on the same shared disk that includes both the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository and the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data. However, from the point of view of replicability and update performance, Fujitsu recommends each directory be created in a separate partition.
The shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data and the shared disk for the AdvancedCopy Manager repository are used for file systems. Make arrangements so that these disks can be mounted.
