ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager V16.1 Operation Guide

8.1.6 Reconfiguration

To change resources that make up the backup configuration, the AdvancedCopy Manager settings need to be changed. This section explains how to change the various types of settings.

8.1.6.1 Changing Device Information on Source and Replica Volumes

To reconfigure the device used as a source or replica volume, the source or replica volume must first be deleted. The device can then be reconfigured and the volume set up.

The source or replica volume must be deleted before the device is reconfigured. Otherwise, the volume may not be deleted after the device reconfiguration.

This process is summarized as follows:

1. Delete the source or replica volume on the device to be reconfigured. Refer to "7.6.2 Deleting Source Volume or Replica Volume" for more information.

2. Reconfigure the device.

3. Add the device information. Refer to "7.4.4 Fetching Device Information on Managed Server" for this operation.

4. Specify the source or replica volume.

5. Prepare a drive letter map file.

8.1.6.2 Changing Hardware Provider Configuration Information

To reconfigure the disk (i.e., the LUN), follow the procedure below:

1. On the primary node of the Exchange server, check the copy status using the eternus_query command. If any copy is executing, stop it using the eternus_stopcopy command.

2. On the primary node of the Exchange server, execute the eternus_copyset command to delete the copy set information of the hardware provider.

3. Delete the source or replica volume on the device to be reconfigured. Refer to "7.6.2 Deleting Source Volume or Replica Volume" for more information.

4. Reconfigure the device.

5. Add the device information. Refer to "7.4.4 Fetching Device Information on Managed Server" for information about this operation.

6. On the primary node of the Exchange server, execute the eternus_copyset command to register the copy set information of the hardware provider.

7. Execute "8.1.3.7 Saving Provider Management File".

8. Execute "8.1.3.8 Creating Device Definition File".

9. Execute "8.1.3.9 Saving Device Definition File".

10. Specify the source or replica volume.

11. Prepare a drive letter map file.

8.1.6.3 Changing Storage Group Information

If the storage group information registered by the swsrpdbinfo_exchange command is changed, the swsrpdbinfo_exchange command needs to be executed again to make the system reflect the changes.
The change in the storage group information is caused by a change in the device information on the source or replica volume. The device information must be changed before the swsrpdbinfo_exchange command is executed.

8.1.6.4 Changing Managed Server Name

To change the Managed Server name, follow the procedure below:

1. On the primary node of the Exchange server, check the copy status using the eternus_query command. If any copy is executing, stop it using the eternus_stopcopy command.

2. Delete the source or replica volume on the device to be reconfigured. Refer to "7.6.2 Deleting Source Volume or Replica Volume" for more information.

3. Change the Managed Server name. For details, refer to "12.5.4 Changing Server Name of Management Server or Managed Server.

4. On the primary node of the Exchange server, execute the eternus_chgsrv command to register the provider copyset information. Execute the eternus_copyset command to check the updated content.

5. At the backup server, execute the eternus_chgsrv command to register the provider copyset information.

6. Execute "8.1.3.7 Saving Provider Management File".

7. Execute "8.1.3.8 Creating Device Definition File".

8. Execute "8.1.3.9 Saving Device Definition File".

9. Specify the source or replica volume.
