If a device is added to a Storage Server, incorporate it into the backup operation of the Tape Backup function as described below.
Note
System resources such as disk and memory resources may be insufficient when a device is added. Re-estimate the system resource requirements before adding a device. Refer to "Required resources" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide" for details.
The area required when updating the repository may not be available when a device is added. Therefore, check if there is sufficient area for updating the repository before fetching the device information. If there is insufficient area, allocate the required area before fetching the device information.
Refer to the version of the following manual that is applicable to the Storage Management Server operating system for the procedure:
Step 2 in "Action required when access to the repository fails" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide"
The Storage Management Server repository (directory for the DB space that stores repository data) may be too small when a device is added. Re-estimate the repository size before adding a device.
Refer to "Estimating database area" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide" for the estimation method.
If the estimation result is less than 65 megabytes, the size does not need to be increased. If it is more than 65 megabytes, extend the size before adding a device. Refer to "9.2.1 Troubleshooting for insufficient free space in a repository" for the extension method.
Fetch all the device information for a Storage Server. When device information is fetched, a newly added device will be detected. Move it to the [Device to be added] field. For information on fetching device information, see "5.3.3 Fetching device information on a Storage Server".
Execute 11.4.13 tbogetoluinfo (ETERNUS DX60/DX80/ETERNUS2000/ETERNUS3000/ETERNUS4000 information acquisition command) to fetch the ETERNUS information again.
Set the operation type for a device that has been added. For more information, refer to "5.3.5 Setting the operation type for a device".
If the added device has been defined as a transaction volume, set a backup policy for it. For more information, refer to "5.3.7 Setting backup policies".
