5.5.5 Adding a Storage Server

Add a Storage Server to the backup operation as described below.

Note

  • System resources such as disk and memory resources may be insufficient when a Storage Server is added. Re-estimate the system resource requirements before adding a Storage Server. 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 Storage Server is added. Therefore, check if there is sufficient area for updating the repository before adding the Storage Server. If there is insufficient area, allocate the required area before adding the Storage Server.

    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 Storage Server is added. Re-estimate the repository size before adding the Storage Server.

    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 the Storage Server. Refer to "9.2.1 Troubleshooting for insufficient free space in a repository" for the extension method.

  1. Register a Storage Server. For details, refer to "5.3.2 Registering a Storage Server".

  2. Fetch all the information of devices connected to the added Storage Server. For more information, refer to "5.3.3 Fetching device information on a Storage Server".

  3. Set the information for the Storage Server. For more information, refer to "5.3.4 Configuring the environment for a backup operation server".

  4. Set the operation type for a device whose information has been fetched in Step 3. For more information, refer to "5.3.5 Setting the operation type for a device".

  5. Set a backup policy for all the transaction volumes registered in Step 4. For more information, refer to "5.3.7 Setting backup policies".
