Set up the following device operation type on a Storage Server before backing up. The operation type is set as follows:
Define the volume to be backed up as a transaction volume.
Prepare backup volumes. Prepare as many partitions, each with the same size as the transaction volume, as the number of generations to be maintained on the disk, and define them as the backup volumes.
Use "11.2.1.3 acmdevinfoset (Device information setting command)" for this operation.
In the command execution example below, device "/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6" has been registered as the transaction volume, and device "/dev/dsk/c1t2d1s6" has been registered as the backup volume.
[For Solaris]
# /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmdevinfoset -t /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmdevinfoset completed # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmdevinfoset -b /dev/dsk/c1t2d1s6 acmdevinfoset completed # |
Note
For notes on setting the operation type of the device, refer to "Setting the operation type for a device" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for the operating system of the target Storage Server.
Point
Information about the registered transaction and backup volumes can be displayed using "11.2.1.4 acmdevdisp (Device operating status display command)".
Information about volumes being tracked can be displayed using "11.2.2.16 acmtrkstat (Tracking status display command)".
Note
The settings for transaction volumes that are being tracked cannot be changed.
The settings for backup volumes that are being tracked cannot be changed.
Point
By specifying the -b and -u options together with "11.2.1.4 acmdevdisp (Device operating status display command)", backup volumes where the history has been deleted can be checked even if their status is "tracking status" or "suspended status".
