A.1.1 Resources required for Solaris/Linux/HP-UX version

The following resources are required when installing AdvancedCopy Manager's agent on the Solaris, Linux or HP-UX version of a clustered system.

  1. Takeover IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager

    Allocate an IP address that is used during clustered system operations and that is unique on AdvancedCopy Manager transactions.

    Fujitsu recommends preparing and adding a new logical IP address to be used by AdvancedCopy Manager.

    When allocating a new IP address, confirm that adding the IP address will not adversely affect other transactions, by checking whether any existing transactions use the IP address as a takeover resource.

    If an existing logical IP address is used, ensure that there are no problems (for example, any restrictions) as a result of sharing the logical IP address between AdvancedCopy Manager and existing products already using the address.

  2. The partition where shared data for AdvancedCopy Manager is stored

    Prepare a partition on the shared disk that stores the shared data used by AdvancedCopy Manager. The number of partitions required is shown in the following table. Make sure that the required number of partitions is prepared for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction. Refer to "7.2 Capacity of shared disk" for information on the disk space that should be reserved on the shared disk.
