2.2.6 Registering ETERNUS disk storage systems

Register ETERNUS disk storage systems with AdvancedCopy Manager CCM as the devices to be used for copies.

Use "A.2.1 acarray add (ETERNUS disk storage systems registration command)" to register the ETERNUS disk storage systems.

The following ETERNUS disk storage systems information is required for registration.

In Windows version, when using REC for the ETERNUS disk storage systems which is not connected with SAN environment, these ETERNUS disk storage systems must be registered by the method of non-authentication with them. The following ETERNUS disk storage systems information is required for registration.

Point

Note for REC

Both ETERNUS disk storage systems of the copy source and the copy destination must be registered.

Perform the following procedure on the CCM server.

  1. Register the one of ETERNUS disk storage systems.

    From two ETERNUS disk storage systems, register the ETERNUS disk storage systems that have the access path set by "2.2.4 Access Path Settings". When both ETERNUS disk storage systems have the access path, register either one.

    Specify the existing drive letter or device name in the access path.

  2. Register another one of ETERNUS disk storage systems.

    From two ETERNUS disk storage systems, register another one that is different from the ETERNUS disk storage system registered by step 1.

    • When its ETERNUS disk storage system has the access path:

      Specify the existing drive letter or device name in the access path as well as step 1.

    • When its ETERNUS disk storage system does not have the access path:

      • Solaris and Linux version

        Specify any drive letter or device name in the access path. Even if the specified drive letter or device name does not actually exist, an error will not be caused, so the one specified need not already exist.

      • Windows version

        Register it by executing the "A.2.1 acarray add (ETERNUS disk storage systems registration command)" command with -boxid option. It cannot be registered by the method of Solaris and Linux version.

  3. Create copy groups by referring the "2.2.7 Creating copy groups".

    Specify the ETERNUS name of step 1 in the "-a" option.
    Specify the ETERNUS name of step 2 in the "-remote" option.

Execution examples are shown below.

Register the ETERNUS disk storage systems.

> acarray add -a E4000 -ip 10.124.6.251 -path c: -user root -password root
Successful completion.
 

To check whether the ETERNUS disk storage systems has been registered, use "A.2.3 acarray list (ETERNUS disk storage systems information display command)".

> acarray list

Name  BOX-ID                                   IP Address
----- ---------------------------------------- ------------
E4000 00E4000M3#####E450S20A####KD4030639004## 10.124.6.251

Register the remote ETERNUS disk storage systems.
In Windows version, execute "A.2.1 acarray add (ETERNUS disk storage systems registration command)" command with -boxid option.

> acarray add -a E4000 -boxid 00E4000M3#####E450S20A####KD4030639004## -remote
Successful completion.
 

To check whether the ETERNUS disk storage systems has been registered, use "A.2.3 acarray list (ETERNUS disk storage systems information display command)". The -remote option can be only used in Windows version.

> acarray list -remote

Name  BOX-ID                                   
----- ----------------------------------------
E4000 00E4000M3#####E450S20A####KD4030639004##
