To install ETERNUS SF Manager, the following database is required.
Repository
This is used for the managing the information of the operating environment by ETERNUS SF Manager.
For Windows Environment
The database areas must reside on a drive with NTFS format.
The required size of the repository database must be calculated by the following formula.
Required size (MB) = (750 + servers * 35 + devices * 9 + backupVolumes * 0.3 + volumePairs * 1.7) / 1024
servers
This is the total number of Management Server and Managed Servers.
For servers that perform the cluster operation, calculate with the number of physical nodes that compose the clustered system.
devices
For AdvancedCopy Manager
This is the total number of devices (partitions) that are managed by AdvancedCopy Manager. This is not to be confused with the total number of devices that are connected to a Managed Server.
For AdvancedCopy Manager, the meaning of "device" is as follows.
OS Type of Managed Server | Meaning of "device" |
|---|---|
Windows | Partition |
Solaris | Slice |
Linux | Partition |
HP-UX | LUN |
AIX | LUN |
For Express
This is the total number of partitions. This is not to be confused with the total number of devices that are connected to a Managed Server.
If a Managed Server is mirrored by SynfinityDISK or PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services, the number of devices is the total number of mirror slices. The total number of mirror slices is the result of multiplying the number of devices by the number of disks composing each mirror group.
backupVolumes
This is the total number of backup volumes.
Resources created when performing backup operation.
volumePairs
This is the total number of copy source/destination volume pairs.
Resources created when performing replication operation.
Point
Cautions for Calculating Disk Space for Repository Database
If there is any possibility that the number of servers and/or devices will increase in the future, specify a larger disk space than calculated.
For Solaris or Linux Environment
Required size (MB) = (750 + servers * 35 + devices * 9 + backupVolumes * 0.3 + volumePairs * 1.7) / 1024
servers
This is the total number of Management Server and Managed Servers.
For servers that perform the cluster operation, calculate with the number of physical nodes that compose the clustered system.
devices
For AdvancedCopy Manager
This is the total number of devices (partitions) that are managed by AdvancedCopy Manager. This is not to be confused with the total number of devices that are connected to a Managed Server.
For AdvancedCopy Manager, the meaning of "device" is as follows.
OS Type of Managed Server | Meaning of "device" |
|---|---|
Windows | Partition |
Solaris | Slice |
Linux | Partition |
HP-UX | LUN |
AIX | LUN |
For Express
This is the total number of partitions. This is not to be confused with the total number of devices that are connected to a Managed Server.
When the Managed Server to be managed is using mirroring with the SynfinityDISK or PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services, the number of devices is equivalent to the total of mirror slices.
The total number of mirror slices is the number of devices multiplied by the number of disks comprising the mirror group.
backupVolumes
This is the total number of backup volumes.
Resources created when performing backup operation.
volumePairs
This is the total number of copy source/destination volume pairs.
Resources created when performing replication operation.
Point
If there is a possibility that the number of servers or number of partitions will be increased in future, specify a size that is greater than the estimated size.
If there is a possibility that the number of mirrors or number of devices will be increased in future and SynfinityDISK or PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services are used, also specify a size that is greater than the estimated size.
