The process of adding a Storage Server to the backup operation can be carried out using GUI operations or commands. For information on the operation method using GUI, refer to "Register a New Storage Server" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager GUI User's Guide".
For the operation method using commands, refer to the stgxfwcmaddsrv (Server information addition command) in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide" of the OS on which the Storage Management Server is running.
The required steps for adding a Storage Server are described below.
Register a Storage Server. For more information, refer to "4.4.4 Registering a Storage Server"
Fetch all the information on the devices connected to the newly added Storage Server. For more information on this, refer to "4.4.5 Fetching device information on a Storage Server".
Set the environment information for the Storage Server. For more information on this, refer to "4.4.6 Configuring the environment for a backup operation server".
Set the operation type for the device for which information has been fetched in Step 2. For more information on this, refer to "4.4.7 Setting the operation type for a device".
Configure a backup policy for all the transaction volumes registered in Step 4. For more information on this, refer to "4.4.8 Setting backup policies".
Note
System resources such as disk and memory resources may be insufficient when a Storage Server is added. Re-estimate the system resource requirements before adding a Storage Server.
Refer to "Required resources" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide" for the OS of the Storage Management server for details.
There may not be sufficient area available for updating the repository when a Storage Server is added. Check if the area required when updating the repository is available before adding the Storage Server. If there is insufficient area, free an area, then add the Storage Server.
For the procedure, refer to the version of the following manual that applies to the OS of the Storage Management Server:
"ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide", step 2 of "Action required when access to repository fails"
The repository (directory for the DB space that stores repository data) may be too small when a Storage Server is added. Re-estimate the repository size before adding a Storage Server. Refer to "Estimating database area" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide" for the details.
If the estimation result is less than 65 megabytes, the size does not need to be increased. If it is more than 65 megabytes, extend the size before adding a Storage Server. Refer to "Action required when the repository is too small" for details.
