This section explains how to change the target disk of image operations. When the storage configuration of the system disk and data disks is different, it is necessary to perform the following settings.
For agent-registered servers, place the destination managed server into maintenance mode.
For details on maintenance mode, refer to "Appendix C Maintenance Mode" in the "User's Guide VE".
Shut down the destination server.
Execute the following command to update disk information.
The destination server is started, and information of disks for which image operations are possible is obtained. The destination server stops after the disk information is obtained.
【Windows Manager】
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server collect -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
【Linux Manager】
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server collect -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
Execute the following command to display the information of disks for which image operations are possible.
【Windows Manager】
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server show -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
【Linux Manager】
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server show -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
From the displayed disk information, identify the boot disk according to information such as the size and partitions.
Execute the following command to set the target disk for image operations.
Specify the integral value displayed as "Disk Number: an integer " of boot disk information for command options.
【Windows Manager】
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server set -name physical server -attr target_disk=target_disk <RETURN> |
【Linux Manager】
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server set -name physical server -attr target_disk=target_disk <RETURN> |
Execute the following command to check the set the target disk for image operations.
【Windows Manager】
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server list -target_disk <RETURN> |
【Linux Manager】
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server list -target_disk <RETURN> |
The setting of target disk of image operations can be reverted by executing the following commands.
【Windows Manager】
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server unset -name physical server -target_disk <RETURN> |
【Linux Manager】
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server unset -name physical server -target_disk <RETURN> |
For details, refer to "3.2 rcxadm server" in the "Reference Guide (Command) VE".
Note
The settings of the disk for image operations return to the state when the backup was acquired when a backup of the admin server is restored, because it can only be updated by the commands to perform operations.
Users are advised to obtain a backup of the admin server after performing settings for the disks of all managed servers that are the targets of image operations.
In the following cases, update disk information and perform the settings of disks that are the targets of image operations again.
When restoring a backup of the admin server that was collected before settings for the disks that are the targets of image operations were made
When the disks that are the targets of image operations have been changed after the backup of the admin server was collected
When a disk that is the target of an image operation has been replaced
