The operational environment must be prepared prior to upgrading the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module, as described below.
There are two methods of performing the upgrade for the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module, as follows:
[Method 1] Install the ETERNUS SF Manager program and use the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module included with the ETERNUS SF Manager.
[Method 2] Install and use the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module.
Point
For Method 1, in addition to the command line interface, it is also possible to perform the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module operations from the Web Console. However, this approach has the following drawbacks:
The disk space required for installation is greater than that for Method 2.
There are more incompatible software issues when compared to Method 2.
Checking Symfoware will be necessary (only if Symfoware is installed on the server for which this operation is being performed).
Estimating the database size estimation will be necessary.
