This appendix explains settings for software ID prefixes.
A software ID in the format "fixed prefix (SW) + eight-digit serial number" is attached to the software information.
This applies to the software information registered when installing the product and that registered by users.
In the case of Active-Active operation, software information with the same software ID may be registered on both sites. The software ID prefix can be changed to avoid this.
After changing the software ID prefix, execute the batch conversion command for the software ID.
This converts the software ID of the registered software information into a software ID with the newly set prefix.
Point
There is no problem if different software ID prefixes are specified between the switchover source site and the switchover destination site. It is possible to set the default prefix "SW" on the switchover source site and change the prefix to the one other than "SW" on the switchover destination site.
Perform change of the software ID prefix and conversion of the software ID using the batch conversion command for the software ID at one of the following timings.
When configuring the Resource Orchestrator manager
Immediately before performing Active-Active operation switchover
Procedure
Use the following procedure to set the software ID prefix and reflect the changes on the existing software ID (batch conversion of the ID).
Open a definition file using a text editor.
The definition file is stored in the following location.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\RCXCFMG\config\vsys_config.xml
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVcfmg/config/vsys_config.xml
Add the following definition to the definition file.
The added line must be placed between <properties> and </properties>.
<entry key="software-id-prefix">[prefix]</entry> |
Key Name | Description |
|---|---|
software-id-prefix | Specify the desired prefix using two alphanumeric characters. If a string not meeting the above conditions is specified, the default "SW" is set. |
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
Save the definition file.
Restart the manager.
For details on how to restart the manager, refer to "2.1 Starting and Stopping Managers" in the "Operation Guide CE".
Execute the batch conversion command for the software ID.
For details on the batch conversion command for the software ID, refer to "B.7 cfmg_changesoftwareid".
