ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition V3.1.2 DR Option Instruction

3.8 Configuring the DR Configuration Check Tool

Before executing the DR configuration check tool, configure the DR configuration check tool manually using the following procedure.

1. When performing virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest), configure VMware vSphere CLI(vCLI) related settings.

   When performing virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest), install the version of VMware vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI) corresponding to the VMware vCenter Server version on the admin server.
   For Windows managers, add the path to VMware vSphere CLI(vCLI) to the PATH environment variable.

   If the above configuration operations are not performed, the following error message is displayed in the execution result for check number 1 of the DR configuration check tool (Presence of LUN replication in the switch scope).

   Item 01: Correctness of Storage Replication
   Result: ERROR
   Details:
   ERROR: Replication check of vmware datastores cannot be performed. Detail: vCLI is not installed or path of vCLI has not been set to environment variable.

   Information

   Even if the path to vCLI is not added to the PATH environment variable on a Windows manager, the DR configuration check tool can be executed using the vCLI command prompt.

2. When using ETERNUS storage units, set the replication configuration information on the switchover source site.

   [Windows Manager]
   Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\fa_dr.rcxprop

   [Linux Manager]
   /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/fa_dr.rcxprop

   Example

   #rcxrepdef_define
   ccm, ,192.168.0.205, 192.168.0.206

   For details, refer to "Required Option Setting Information for the rcxrepdef Command" in "B.1 rcxmgrexport".

   Note

   The check for the use of replication by the DR configuration check tool can be executed only when CCM has been installed in the manager of Resource Orchestrator.
   When the replication configuration information has not been set, the check for the use of replication is not executed.

3. If necessary, set the definition file for the DR configuration check tool in the switchover source site and the switchover destination site.

   • Lines beginning with sharp signs ("#") are comments in this definition file.

   • Blank lines in this definition file are regarded as meaningless and skipped.

   [Windows Manager]
   Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\drcheck.rcxprop

   [Linux Manager]
   /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/drcheck.rcxprop

   It is necessary to specify the -config_dir option when all of the following conditions are met:

   • "rcxdrcheck_prepare_define" is not specified in the definition file

   • The command for specifying "prepare" for the "-mode" option is executed

   When all of the following conditions are met, it is necessary to specify the -config_dir option.

   • "rcxdrcheck_check_define" is not specified in the definition file

   • The command for specifying "check" for the "-mode" option is executed

   It is necessary to specify the -dir option when all of the following conditions are met:

   • "#rcxmgrexport_define" is not specified in the DR definition file (fa_dr.rcxprop)

   • The command for specifying "check" for the "-mode" option is executed

   For details, refer to "B.6 rcxdrcheck".

   #For Linux Manager:
   # ex) rcxdrcheck_prepare_define=/DRExport/Export/drcheck_prepare_dir
   rcxdrcheck_prepare_define=D:\Export\drcheck_prepare_dir
   
   #Specify the rcxdrcheck check folder.
   #For Windows Manager:
   # ex) rcxdrcheck_check_define=D:\Export\drcheck_check_dir
   #For Linux Manager:
   # ex) rcxdrcheck_check_define=/DRExport/Export/drcheck_check_dir
   rcxdrcheck_check_define=D:\Export\drcheck_check_dir

   For details on setting items, refer to "B.6 rcxdrcheck".
