Register ETERNUS Disk storage system with AdvancedCopy Manager CCM as a device to be used for copies.
Use acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) to register ETERNUS Disk storage system.
The following ETERNUS Disk storage system information is required for registration.
ETERNUS Disk storage system name (hereafter called "ETERNUS name")
Future operations can be executed with the ETERNUS name.
In the case of REC, both copy source and copy destination ETERNUS names are required.
When using Web Console, specify a device name of ETERNUS Disk storage system as ETERNUS name.
ETERNUS Disk storage system IP address
ETERNUS Disk storage system user name and password
Specify the user name and password with the following privileges.
Storage device type | Privileges |
|---|---|
ETERNUS Disk storage system which can operate by using Copy command via LAN | Software role of ETERNUS Disk storage system |
ETERNUS Disk storage system which cannot operate by using Copy command via LAN | Administrator authorization of ETERNUS Disk storage system |
Refer to "Table 1.1 ETERNUS Disk storage system that can be operated by Copy command via SAN or via LAN" for storage devices which can operate by using Copy command via LAN.
Access volume set according to "2.2 Access volume settings" (This setup can be omitted)
When registering the ETERNUS Disk storage system which is operated by Copy command via SAN, an access volume specification can be omitted. However, it is necessary to specify an access volume in a clustered system. Refer to "6.2 Notes about cluster operation" for more information.
When registering the ETERNUS Disk storage system which is operated by Copy command via LAN, it is unnecessary to specify an access volume.
Information
For registering ETERNUS Disk storage system operated by Copy command via SAN and omitting access volume setup, volumes in ETERNUS Disk storage system are searched in the following order. Finding a valid access volume may take a few minutes.
For Windows
The order of "PhysicalDrive [disk number]" displayed in Disk Management.
The disk number is the same value as the "disk?" in the AdvancedCopy Manager block device name and the "Disk #" displayed in the [Disk Management] - [Computer Management] - [Management Tool] from the [Start] menu.
For Solaris
ETERNUS multipath device (/dev/FJSVmplb/rdsk/*)
OS standard device (/dev/rdsk/*), Solaris standard multipath (MPxIO) device (/dev/rdsk/*)
VxVM (/dev/vx/rdmp/*)
For Linux
Multipath device generated by device mapper facility (/dev/mapper/*)
OS standard device (/dev/sd*)
by-id format for udev (/dev/disk/by-id/*)
by-path format for udev (/dev/disk/by-path/*)
For the remote ETERNUS Disk storage system, AdvancedCopy Manager CCM registers it without authentication. The following ETERNUS Disk storage system information is required for registration.
ETERNUS name
Box ID
Point
Note for REC:
Both the copy source and the copy destination ETERNUS Disk storage systems must be registered. Make sure that the REC path is set before registering ETERNUS Disk storage system on the CCM Server.
If the REC path is set after registering ETERNUS Disk storage system, refer to "Changing information other than ETERNUS names and access volumes" and register ETERNUS Disk storage system again.
Perform the following procedure on the CCM Server.
Register the one of ETERNUS Disk storage system.
This ETERNUS Disk storage system must be accessible by either SAN or LAN.
When the ETERNUS Disk storage system has an access volume:
Register the ETERNUS Disk storage system that has the access volume set by "2.2 Access volume settings".
Execute acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) with -san option. When both ETERNUS Disk storage systems have an access volume, register either one.
Specify the existing drive letter or device name for the access volume.
When the ETERNUS Disk storage system does not have an access volume:
Execute acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) with -lan option.
Register another ETERNUS Disk storage system.
Register the ETERNUS Disk storage system not registered in step 1. If there are more than two ETERNUS Disk storage systems in the REC configuration, repeat step 2 for the additional ETERNUS Disk storage systems.
When the ETERNUS Disk storage system has an access volume:
Specify the existing drive letter or device name for the access volume.
When the ETERNUS Disk storage system does not have an access volume:
Register using either of the following methods.
Registering the LAN as connection route (This is recommended) :
Execute acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) with -lan option.
The information of Copy command and volume list can be referred.
Registering the ETERNUS Disk storage system without authentication:
Execute acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) with -boxid option.
Registration cannot be done using a nonexistent drive letter as an access volume.
Refer to "2.5 Creating copy groups" to create copy groups.
Specify the ETERNUS name of step 1 in -a option.
Specify the ETERNUS name of step 2 in -remote option.
Execution examples are shown below.
Register ETERNUS Disk storage system.
In the case of Copy command via SAN
[Execution example]
> acarray add -a ET001 -ip 10.124.6.251 -path c: -user root -password root -san Successful completion.
In the case of Copy command via LAN
[Execution example]
> acarray add -a ET001 -ip 10.124.6.251 -user root -password root -lan Successful completion.
To check whether ETERNUS Disk storage system has been registered, use acarray list (ETERNUS Disk storage system information display command).
[Execution example]
> acarray list Name BOX-ID IP Address ----- ---------------------------------------- ------------ ET001 00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104###### 10.124.6.251 |
To check the connection route to the registered ETERNUS Disk storage system, use acarray detail (ETERNUS Disk storage system detail information display command) with -route option.
In the case of Copy command via SAN
[Execution example]
> acarray detail -a ET001 -route Disk Array Name : ET001 BOX-ID : 00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104###### IP Address : 10.124.6.251 Admin User : root Access Volume : c: Access Route : san
In the case of Copy command via LAN
[Execution example]
> acarray detail -a ET001 -route Disk Array Name : ET001 BOX-ID : 00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104###### IP Address : 10.124.6.251 Admin User : root Access Volume : - Access Route : lan
To register the remote ETERNUS Disk storage system which does not have network connection, use acarray add (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) with -boxid option.
[Execution example]
> acarray add -a ET001 -boxid 00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104###### -remote Successful completion.
To check whether ETERNUS Disk storage system has been registered, use acarray list (ETERNUS Disk storage system information display command).
[Execution example]
> acarray list -remote Name BOX-ID ----- ---------------------------------------- ET001 00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104###### ET002 00ETERNUSDXH##ET87S20A####NC4110699004##
