If the server name, IP address, or port numbers of the Storage Management Server need to be changed during the upgrade, perform the above upgrade procedures, then perform the change tasks described in "Operating environment changes" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide".

9.4.4.1 Repository data backup

Back up the Storage Management Server repository data.

Refer to "Backing up databases" in the appropriate "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for the execution procedures. Note that it is not an execution procedure of "Making a package backup of databases".

9.4.4.2 Management information backup

Back up the Storage Server management information.

Refer to "Backing up databases separately" under "Database maintenance" in the relevant operating system and version edition of the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for the execution procedures.

9.4.4.3 Tape management information backup

Back up the tape server tape management information. The procedure is shown below.

  1. Execute backup of the tape management information to the directory specified for the tape management information of the Tape Server. Refer to "Tape management information backup" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide Tape Backup Option" for details on the procedure.

  2. Back up the tape manager-related definition files shown below.

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/devpath.conf

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/tsm.conf

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/tsmbkfile

9.4.4.4 Uninstall

Uninstall the Tape Server, the Storage Management Server, and the Storage Server. The procedure is as follows:

9.4.4.5 Install

Install the new version of AdvancedCopy Manager, and set up the repository operating environment. The procedure is as follows:

Installation

Repository operating environment setup

9.4.4.6 Restore repository data

Restore the Storage Management Server repository data that was backed up. Refer to "9.1.6 Restoring repository data" for the execution procedure.

9.4.4.7 Change server information

In order to guarantee data consistency, use Web GUI screens or stgxfwcmmodsrv (Server information change command) to change the server information.

Using the GUI client

Select and right click the Storage server from the site view.
Select the [Modify] option from the context menu, the [Modify Storage Server] dialogue is displayed. Click the [OK] button without changing anything in the display.

For details on how to use the GUI client, refer to "How Modify Storage Server Information" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager GUI Operator's Guide."

Using commands

Specify the name of the Storage Management Server in the -n option, and execute stgxfwcmmodsrv (Server information change command) at a command prompt.

Refer to "stgxfwcmmodsrv (Server information change command)" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" for information on using commands.

Note

Changing the server information may fail due to the influence of the Java Plug-in cache. If changing the server information fails, use the following steps to clear the Java Plug-in cache at the GUI client, then re-execute the command. If the GUI client is running, clear the cache, then stop and restart the GUI client.

  1. Select [Control Panel] item [Java Plug-in].

  2. Select the [Cache] tab, then [Clear].

9.4.4.8 Restore management information

Recover the management information that was backed up for the Management server. Refer to "9.3.8 Restoring management information" for the execution procedure.

9.4.4.9 Restore tape management information

Restore the tape server tape management information. The procedure is shown below.

Note

  • In Cluster operation, the cluster setup must have been done before restoring the tape server tape management information.

    Execute procedure 1 to 20 excluding procedure 11 and 19 refer to "Customizing Tape Server Transactions" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for cluster environment".

  • Make sure the following shared disks are mounted, then restore the tape management information.

    • The shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data

    • The shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager repository

    • The shared disk for TSM

  1. Recover the tape management information that was backed up for the Tape Server. Refer to "Restoring tape management information" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide Tape Backup Option" for the execution procedure.

  2. Restore the following backed up tape manager-related definition files.

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/devpath.conf

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/tsm.conf

    • /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/conf/tsmbkfile

    • /usr/bin/dsm.opt

    • /usr/bin/dsm.sys

  3. Updating TSM server daemon

    Execute the following command to update the TSM server daemon information.

    # TSMDB=<TSM database directory>; export TSMDB
# DSMSERV_DIR=/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin; export DSMSERV_DIR
# DSMSERV_CONFIG=$TSMDB/dsmserv.opt; export DSMSERV_CONFIG
# cd $TSMDB
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv UPGRADEDB
    :
tsm: TAPESERVER1> halt
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv
    :
tsm: TAPESERVER1> halt

    After the command (dsmserv UPGRADEDB) execution, press the Enter key periodically (once per minute). When the prompt re-appears, the command is completed.
    Then use the dsmserv command to check TSM server daemon started.

9.4.4.10 Set access path definitions

Set the Tape Server access path definitions.

Note

This procedure is required only for the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS4000 operating environments.

If the conditions below apply, implement the "Access path recovery" procedures.
If the conditions below do not apply, implement the "Resetting access path definitions" procedures.

Access path recovery

Execute tboactmplbext (Tape Server upgrade settings command).

# /opt/FJSVswstm/bin/tboactmplbext
/etc/opt/FJSVmplb/conf/mplb_ext_active was created.
#

For cluster operation, execute the upgrade settings command on the active node that currently references shared volumes. This command does not need to be executed on the standby node.

Note

If the tboactmplbext command is executed by mistake

If the tboactmplbext command is executed in unsuitable conditions, the backup function may not operate correctly. In this case refer to "tboactmplbext (Tape Server upgrade settings command)" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for Tape Backup Option", and then take appropriate action.

Resetting access path definitions

Re-create the access paths and reset the access path definitions.

Note

The following procedure is required only for the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS4000 access path.

If the access paths used before the upgrade meet the following conditions, only execute step 4 and subsequent steps:

Execution procedure

  1. Re-create access path partitions.

    Refer to "Creating access path partitions" for the procedure.

  2. Re-set the access path definition file.

    Refer to "Setting the access path definition file" for the procedure.

  3. Delete access path definition information.

    Delete the definition information of the access paths used before the upgrade.

    # rm -f /etc/opt/FJSVswstm/data/ctrl/.boxid_*
#

  4. Inspect the definition file.

    Refer to "Definition file inspection" for the procedure.

  5. ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS4000 information collection.

    Refer to "8.6.1.4 Collecting ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS3000, and ETERNUS4000 information" for the procedure.

9.4.4.11 Customize the Tape Server

Recover the Tape Server environment settings.

For non-cluster operation

If the following conditions apply, execute from Step 3. If these conditions do not apply, execute from Step 1.

For cluster operation

If the Tape Server performs Tape Server tasks as cluster operations, procedures for clusters are required.

Execute procedure 21 to 26, refer to "Customizing Tape Server Transactions" in the appropriate version of the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for cluster environment".

Note

The setting of procedure 24 "Set the TSM setting" has already been completed when restoring management information. Confirm that the setting is correct.
