Restore the following backed up information:
If backup is being performed:
Backup management files
If tape backup linkage is being performed:
Transaction volume locking specification file for backups [For Windows]
Backup volume locking specification file for backups [For Windows]
Backup restored volume locking specification file [For Windows]
Backup volume locking specification file for tape-copy [For Windows]
If replication is being performed:
Replication management files
Copy source volume locking specification file [For Windows]
Copy destination volume locking specification file [For Windows]
Timeout value specification file of concurrent suspend function
Note
If replication is used.
For servers that act as both a Storage Server and a Storage Management Server, and in cases where the Storage Management Server is upgraded at the same time, the repository is restored during the upgrade procedure for the Storage Management Server. Accordingly, do not restore the repository when restoring the replication management files.
If the Storage Server is cluster, then the repository is also restored during upgrade of the Storage Management Server. Accordingly, do not restore the repository when restoring the replication management files.
For details on how to restore backup management files and replication management files, refer to the following chapters of "Making individual backups of databases" under "Database Maintenance" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide".
"Restore of backup management files and recovery control files" (Solaris, Windows, Linux)
"Restore of backup management files" (HP-UX, AIX)
"Restore of replication management files"
Restore other management information individually using the copy command.
Note
The following management information (pre-processing and post-processing scripts) is not restored.
If backup is being performed:
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts for backup management.
If tape backup is used:
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts for copying to tape.
If replication is used:
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts for replication management.
Pre-processing and post-processing scripts may change as a result of an upgrade. If they have been customized before the upgrade, then they must be customized again after it, with reference to the backed up pre-processing and post-processing scripts.
Note
[Upgrading AdvancedCopy Manager for Linux]
After upgrading, the udev device names listed below are used with priority in environments that have udev device names:
normal device
PRIMECLUSTER GDS SDX object (operating time of slice unit only)
Refer to "Devices supported for AdvancedCopy Manager" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (Linux)" for details of udev device names.
After the upgrade, take the following actions in accordance with the device names used for operations:
For operations that use compatible device names
Use stgxfwcmsetmode (Information capture mode setting command) to change the information collection command such that udev device names are not used.
Refer to "Devices supported for AdvancedCopy Manager" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (Linux)" for details of changing the information collection mode.
For operations that use udev device names
Delete the backup management, replication management and tape backup definition information and incorporate the udev device names, then redefine the backup, replication and tape backup using udev device names.
Refer to "Changing the devices configuration" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (Linux)" for the backup management and replication management procedures.
Refer to "Changing the devices configuration" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (Tape Backup Option).
Note
[Upgrading AdvancedCopy Manager for HP-UX]
For HP-UX 11i v2 or earlier
If you use HP-UX 11i v2 or earlier, then you must fetch device information. If necessary, reflect the settings when new, changed or deleted devices are detected. For details on how to fetch device information, refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (HP-UX)", section "Backup Operations" > "Preparing to Start the Backup" > "Fetching device information on a Storage Server".
For HP-UX 11i v3 or later
In HP-UX 11i v3 or later, the device has two names in new and conventional format. For details on device names, refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (HP-UX)", section "Overview of AdvancedCopy Manager" > "Managing a Device on AdvancedCopy Manager". Depending on the device format, perform the procedure below.
In case a different format is used for device names before and after upgrading
Before upgrading, set the device format using stgxfwcmsetmode (Information collection mode setup command), and then delete the definition for the backup management, replication management and tape backup.
After that, set the device format used after upgrading using stgxfwcmsetmode (Information collection mode setup command), and then fetch the device information and redefine the backup/replication and tape backup.
For details on setting the information collection mode, refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (HP-UX)", section "Commands" > "Configuration Management Commands".
For details on backup and replication management, refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (HP-UX)", section "Operational Maintenance" > "Changing the Operating Environment" > "Changing the device configuration".
For details on how to back up to a tape, refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for Tape Backup Option", section "Operational Maintenance" > "Changing the Operating Environment" > "Changing the device configuration".
In case the same format is used for device names before and after upgrading
It is necessary to set the format of the device names using stgxfwcmsetmode (information collection mode setup command) even if the same device name format is used before and after upgrading.
For details on setting the information collection mode, refer to , refer to the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide (HP-UX)", section "Commands" > "Configuration Management Commands".
