Add a business disk resource to the dependency of the following resources by using Cluster Administrator (for MSCS) or Failover Cluster Manager (for WSFC).
AdvancedCopy COM Service_logicalNodeName
Note
When a volume is added, or when it is deleted, it is necessary to again set up the above-mentioned dependency. Refer to "Notes on Cluster Operation" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide (for Windows) for information about this.
If the number of clustered system nodes is greater than the number of cluster group nodes (such as in an n:1 standby system), change the ownership rights required for execution.
Using Cluster Administrator (for MSCS) or Failover Cluster Manager (for WSFC), change the property information (ownership rights required for execution) of the AdvancedCopy Manager resources belonging to the cluster group for only the nodes operating in the cluster group. Refer to the Windows version of MSCS/WSFC manuals for information on how to change the ownership rights required for execution. The property information must be changed for the following resources:
AdvancedCopy COM Service_logicalNodeName
AdvancedCopy IP Address logical node name (if "Create New IP Address Resource" has been selected with the cluster setup command of AdvancedCopy Manager or "New" has been selected in the " IP Address Resource")
AdvancedCopy Network logical node name (if "Create New IP Address Resource" has been selected with the cluster setup command of AdvancedCopy Manager or "New" has been selected in the " IP Address Resource")
Shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data
Backup volume or replica volume
Online the AdvancedCopy Manager service on the primary node.
Use Cluster Administrator (for MSCS) or Failover Cluster Manager (for WSFC) to take the cluster group whose settings have been completed online and to start AdvancedCopy Manager service.
Back up the environment.
As a safeguard against accidental loss of data or file corruption, back up the data environment on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.
Using the copy function (for example, Windows Explorer), back up the following folders on the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data.
Drive of the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data:\etc
Drive of the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data:\var
Verify the operation node.
Using Cluster Administrator (for MSCS) or Failover Cluster Manager (for WSFC), verify that the cluster group operates on the node.
Create an environment for the Managed Server transaction.
Create an environment for the replication operation or backup operations, which is executed in AdvancedCopy Manager, in a Managed Server transaction.
Refer to the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide (for Windows) to create the environment for Managed Server transactions according to the operation type.
Note
When adding a Managed Server transaction to a Managed Server, execute the stgxfwcmaddsrv command. Refer to "stgxfwcmaddsrv (Server information addition command)" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide relevant to the OS of the Management Server for information on the command.
Refer to "2.4.2 Cluster transaction and local transaction" for information on the specified argument for command option.
Reboot all nodes.
If the secondary node in n:1 standby operation was already completely installed and customized (including the reboot) earlier, reboot only the primary node.
