It will be necessary to set a number of options when performing backup to a backup volume in a cabinet that is different from the cabinet containing the transaction volume.
If the option settings file is changed after operation starts, backup may not be able to continue. For this reason, do not change the option settings file after the start of operation.
To change the option settings file, you must recreate the backup policy.
Note
The ETERNUS storage system must support the REC or ROPC function.
Both cabinets must be connected to an FCRA (FC Remote Adapter).
Since data flows only from the Initiator side to the Target side through an FCRA connection, FCRA connections must be established in sets of two or more.
In a backup operation involving an ETERNUS storage system that does not support the ROPC function, only the REC function can be used. In this case, you cannot back up data to a backup volume in a cabinet that does not contain a transaction volume, since the backup operation uses the ROPC function during restoration.
Both cabinets must be connected to the Tape Server.
Create a check.ini file to specify the options. For information on the file path and on how to specify options, refer to "Setting Options" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for the operating system of the target Storage Server.
