(*) If OS is Windows Server 2008
If any of the above-mentioned software is installed, it must be uninstalled first.
Symfoware components are internally bundled with the Manager of AdvancedCopy Manager.
No problems arise if Symfoware is not installed in the install destination system.
If Symfoware is installed, the Symfoware status must be confirmed after installation.
Windows Server 2003
Check that the installed Symfoware Server is the following level:
Symfoware Server Enterprise Edition V6.0 - V9.x
If another level of Symfoware was installed, uninstall Symfoware Server, then install Symfoware Server Enterprise Edition V6.0 - V9.x.
Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
Symfoware Server and Symfoware Client are used with the Manager of AdvancedCopy Manager. The configuration of the installation must be confirmed.
Both Symfoware Server and Symfoware Client can be installed without a problem.
If only Symfoware Server is installed, and the version is Symfoware Server Enterprise Edition 9.1.1, no action is required because the client will be installed when ACM Manager is installed.
If only Symfoware Server is installed, and a version other than the above is installed, perform the following:
Install the same version of Symfoware Client as the installed Symfoware Server.
Save any required data, and remove the installed Symfoware Server. After installing the ACM Manager, restore the saved data.
If only Symfoware Client is installed, remove it.
To operate Manager of AdvancedCopy Manager, the following databases are required.
The following database areas are required for the repository.
The following databases must reside on a drive with NTFS format:
RDB dictionary
RDB log file
Repository database
The Table 2.2 Required database spacebelow gives the minimum space required for each database. Check that the required capacity is securable. (Enter these specifications with reference to "3.1.2 Details of Non-cluster Storage Management Server Customization".)
Type | Size |
|---|---|
RDB dictionary | 55(MB) |
RDB log file | 100(MB) |
Repository database | Refer to the following expression. (The minimum space required is 65MB.) |
Capacity (MB) = {[(number of servers x 6 + total number of devices x 11) / 40] x 17 + 512} / 1024 |
Number of servers: = The total of Storage management servers and Storage servers.
Total of devices = The total of devices (*1) to be managed by the AdvancedCopy Manager. Note that this total is not the total of devices connected to all the Storage servers.
*1 Depending on the Storage server to be managed, the "device" corresponds to the following:
Storage server type | Correspondence to the "device" |
|---|---|
Windows | Partition |
Solaris | Slice |
HP-UX | LUN |
Linux | Partition |
AIX | LUN |
When the Storage server to be managed is using mirroring with the SynfinityDISK or PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services, the number of devices is equivalent to the total number of mirror slices.
The total number of mirror slices is the number of devices multiplied by the number of disks comprising the mirror group.
Note
When there are two or more Storage servers, define the number to be estimated as the total number on all Storage servers.
When a cluster operation is running, consider not only logical servers but also physical servers.
Round up to the integer, any fractions in the calculation results for the terms in the square brackets.
When the calculated capacity is less than 65 MB, use 65 MB as the minimum required size.
Point
Specify in advance a size that is greater than the estimated size if there is a possibility that the number of servers or number of partitions will be increased in future.
If SafeDISK or PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services are used, specify in advance a size that is greater than the estimated size if there is a possibility that the number of mirrors or number of devices will be increased in future.
