Since, in online backup operations, backup servers are used for backing up, backup servers are required that are separate from business servers. Consequently, you need a server configuration which consists of at least 2 servers.
As data communication to backup servers uses ssh, it is necessary to enable ssh connections from business servers to backup servers. For details on setting methods, refer to the operating system manuals.
Replication operations
This section explains the system configuration for implementing replication operations.
Figure G.2 Sample configuration for replication operations
Using 1 physical disk that constitutes a storage pool for transactions, the entire disk is registered.
Including the backup storage pool, backup can preserve a maximum of 2 generations.
Managed Server (business server): SV-1
Management Server (backup server): BKSV (name for registration in AdvancedCopy Manager)
Transaction storage pool: STP1
Backup storage pool: STP1B
Disk
Physical disk | Connection server | Device type | Device name | Purpose (storage pool) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Transaction VOL | SV-1 | LU | c1t1d1 | Transaction storage pool (STP1) |
Backup VOL-1 | BKSV | LU | c2t1d11 | Backup storage pool (STP1B) |
Backup VOL-2 | BKSV | Slice | c2t1d12s1 | Backup volume for older generations |
AdvancedCopy Manager CCM operations
This section explains the system configuration for implementing AdvancedCopy Manager CCM operations.
Figure G.3 Sample configuration for AdvancedCopy Manager CCM operations
Using 1 physical disk that constitutes a storage pool for transactions, the entire disk is registered.
Including the backup storage pool, backup can preserve a maximum of 2 generations.
Managed Server (business server): SV-1
Management Server (backup server): BKSV
Transaction storage pool: STP1
Backup storage pool: STP1B
Disk
Physical disk | Connection server | LUN | Device type | Device name | Purpose (storage pool) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Transaction VOL | SV-1 | 0x01 | LU | c1t1d1 | Transaction storage pool (STP1) |
Backup VOL-1 | BKSV | 0x11 | LU | c2t1d11 | Backup storage pool (STP1B) |
Backup VOL-2 | - | 0x12 | LU | c2t1d12 | Backup volume for older generations |
