The following resources are necessary to install AdvancedCopy Manager on a Windows-version MSCS or WSFC:
Takeover IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager
Allocate a new IP address that is unique in the network for use in cluster system operations. However, to use an IP address that is already in use for transactions, no new IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager need be allocated. One IP address is required per 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 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 (ie, that it does not restrict) existing products that already use the logical IP address.
Drive letter where shared data for AdvancedCopy Manager is stored
Prepare drive letter on the shared disks on which to store shared data. The table below lists the numbers of required drive letter. Note that the listed values indicate the number of drive letter required for every transaction. For more information about the size of the shared disks for shared data, see "3.2 Capacity of a shared disk".
Name | Storage Management Server transaction | Storage Server transaction |
|---|---|---|
Shared disk for repository | 1 or 0 | 0 |
Shared disk for shared data | 1 | 1 |
Total number of drive letter | 2 or 1 | 1 |
Note
A shared disk for the repository and a shared disk for shared data can be the same. If so, the shared disk capacity for shared data must also include free space for the shared disk capacity of the repository.
Assign a disk that is not backed up or replicated using AdvancedCopy Manager as the shared disk for shared data and the shared disk for the repository.
The shared disk used with AdvancedCopy Manager must use disks other than the Quorum disk.
