11.2.1.3 swstdevinfoset (Device information setting command)

NAME

swstdevinfoset - sets the device information

SYNOPSIS

To be executed on a Storage Server

program-directory\bin\swstdevinfoset -t | -b | -o Device-Name

To be executed on a Storage Management Server

program-directory\bin\swstdevinfoset [-h Server-Name] -t | -b | -o Device-Name

DESCRIPTION

Set a volume that has been allocated to the ETERNUS disk storage systems, as a transaction or backup volume.

A transaction volume refers to a volume that stores transaction data to be backed up. A backup volume refers to a volume used to store a backup of this transaction data.

The following devices can be registered on Windows as transaction and backup volumes. Logical Units (disks) cannot be registered.

SCSI driver resource (OS standard)
MPHD driver resource (Multipath disk control for WindowsNT)
MPLB driver resource

Only regular drives can be registered. No mirror set, stripe set, parity-protected stripe set, or volume set that can be recognized as FT (Fault Tolerant) drives can be registered. Additionally, the following file systems can be used (note that HPFS is not supported):

NTFS, FAT, and FAT32

You may want to change information (partition size, drive letter, and ETERNUS disk storage systems cabinet information) on a device registered as a working or backup volume using an OS management tool such as Disk Management or a function such as ETERNUS Web GUI provided by the ETERNUS disk storage systems. However, if you do, you need to then deselect the target device from the work or backup volume and register it again.

If you add or delete a device (including disk array units and other general devices) on a Storage Server on Windows, use the "getting and reflecting information of all devices" option on the GUI client to update the relationship table between AdvancedCopy Manager device names and OS information.

If you want to perform the backup operation on a regular transaction volume, refer to 4.2.2 Selecting a backup source for information on a transaction volume, and 4.2.4 Preparing a backup volume for information on a backup volume.

OPTIONS

-h Sever-Name: Specifies a Storage Server name.
This option is valid only on a Storage Management Server.

-t: Register the specified device as a transaction volume.
Cannot be specified at the same time as the -b and -o options.

-b: Register the specified device as a backup volume.
Cannot be specified at the same time as the -t and -o options.

-o: Deregister the specified device if it has been registered as a transaction or backup volume.
Cannot be specified at the same time as the -t and -b options.

OPERANDS

Device-Name: Specify an AdvancedCopy Manager device name.
Refer to "1.5 Managing a Device on AdvancedCopy Manager" for the devices to be specified.

EXIT STATUS

=0:Completed successfully

>0:Terminated abnormally

A device cannot be registered as a transaction volume if:
- Another device with the same cabinet information (box identifier, OLU number, EXTENT starting position, and EXTENT size) has already been registered as a transaction volume.
- The space of the device to be registered overlaps the space of an already registered working or backup volume.
- The device is a FT drive.
- The device is a dynamic volume.
- The device is a Logical Unit (disk).
- The device exists in ETERNUS DX60, ETERNUS DX80 or ETERNUS DX90, and the license of its ETERNUS disk storage system is not registered in the License Manager.
A device cannot be registered as a backup volume if:
- Another device with the same cabinet information (box identifier, OLU number, EXTENT starting position, and EXTENT size) has already been registered as a backup volume.
- The space of the device to be registered overlaps the space of an already registered work or backup volume.
- The device to be set up is registered as a replication destination volume in replication management.
- The device to be set up is registered as a replication source volume of the duplicate volume information in which bidirectional copy is possible in replication management.
- A drive letter has already been allocated to the device to be registered.
- The device is a FT drive.
- The device is a dynamic volume.
- The device is a Logical Unit (disk).
- The device is an SDX object.
You must delete related backup history information before:
- Changing a backup volume to a transaction volume
- Canceling the setting of a backup volume
You must delete a backup policy specified on a transaction volume before:
- Changing a transaction volume to a backup volume
- Canceling the setting of a transaction volume
The following changes are not possible unless the related synchronous processing (in an EC session) is cancelled:
- Changing a setting in a suspended transaction volume
- Changing a setting in a suspended backup volume
The related tracking processing (in an OPC session) must be canceled in advance to perform the following changes:
- Changing the settings of a transaction volume in tracking processing
- Changing the settings of a backup volume in tracking processing

11.2.1.5 swstbkpolset (Backup policy setting command)

NAME

swstbkpolset - sets a backup policy

SYNOPSIS

To be executed on a Storage Server

program-directory\bin\swstbkpolset [-i Interval-Days] [-s Save-Number] [Device-Name]

To be executed on a Storage Management Server

program-directory\bin\swstbkpolset [-h Server-Name] [-i Interval-Days] [-s Save-Number] [Device-Name]

DESCRIPTION

This command sets a backup policy (the number of preservation generations and the number of interval days).
The number of preservation generations is the number of generations of backup data that should be kept at one time. The number of interval days means the number of days from the execution of one backup until the next backup should be performed.

OPTIONS

-h Sever-Name: Specifies a Storage Server name.
This option can be specified only on a Storage Management Server.

-i Interval-Days: Specifies the number of interval days. You can specify a value between 1 and 366. If this option is omitted during initial registration, 30 will be set as the default. If this option is omitted during update, the existing value will be inherited.

-s Save-Number: Specifies the number of preservation generations. You can specify a value between 1 and 31. If this option is omitted during initial registration, 2 will be set as the default. If this option is omitted during update, the existing value will be inherited.

OPERANDS

Device-Name: Specify an AdvancedCopy Manager device name.
Refer to "1.5 Managing a Device on AdvancedCopy Manager" for the devices to be specified.
If the device name is omitted, the backup policy will be set for all the transaction volumes.

EXIT STATUS

=0:Completed successfully

>0:Terminated abnormally

EXAMPLES

Set a backup policy assuming 10 days as the number of interval days and three generations as the number of preservation generations for the transaction volume (called g1d1p2).
```
C:\>C:\Win32app\AdvancedCopyManager\bin\swstbkpolset -i 10 -s 3 g1d1p2
g1d1p2 swstbkpolset completed
C:\>
```

NOTES

Even if the number of interval days is specified, AdvancedCopy Manager does not automatically create a backup.
When you specify a backup policy, there must be as many backup volumes in operation according to the specified backup policy. To view information on the number of backup volumes required to perform the backup operation of a regular transaction volume, refer to 4.2.4 Preparing a backup volume.
You can change the number of preservation generations as long as the "history information count at the time" is equal to or less than the "number of preservation generations to be specified".
No backup policy can be set if:
- There are not as many backup volumes as the specified number of preservation generations.
- An option for more than the maximum number of preservation generations is specified.
- An option for more than the maximum interval days is specified.
- The replication control function or tape backup function uses the target transaction volume
- The specified device is an LU (disk unit).
This command can only be executed while none of the following commands are running:
