This section explains how to modify the target disks of image operations.
When there is a server using local boot with a SAN data configuration, use the following procedure to change the target disk for image operations.
When the managed server is registered as an agent, place the server into maintenance mode.
For details on maintenance mode, refer to "Appendix C Maintenance Mode".
Power off the managed server.
Execute the following command to update the disk information.
Acquire the information of disks for which image operations can be performed. At this time, the managed server can be automatically started and then automatically stopped after the disk information is acquired.
[Windows Manager]
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server collect -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
[Linux Manager]
#/opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server collect -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
Execute the following command to display the information of disks for which image operations can be performed.
[Windows Manager]
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server show -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
[Linux Manager]
#/opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server show -name physical server -disk <RETURN> |
Identify the boot disk from the information regarding size or partitions in the displayed disk information.
Execute the following command to configure the target disks of image operations.
Specify the integer displayed as "Disk Number: integer" in the boot disk information for the option of the command.
[Windows Manager]
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server set -name physical server -attr target_disk=target_disk <RETURN> |
[Linux Manager]
#/opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server set -name physical server -attr target_disk=target_disk <RETURN> |
Execute the following command to check the configured target disks of image operations.
[Windows Manager]
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server list -target_disk <RETURN> |
[Linux Manager]
#/opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server list -target_disk <RETURN> |
Information
If the following commands are executed, the configurations of the target disks of image operations can be released.
[Windows Manager]
>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm server unset -name physical server -target_disk <RETURN> |
[Linux Manager]
#/opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm server unset -name physical server -target_disk <RETURN> |
For details on the command, refer to "3.4 rcxadm server" in the "Reference Guide (Command) VE".
Note
Configurations of target disks of image operations are not updated unless commands are executed. Therefore, when a backup of an admin server is restored, configurations of target disks of image operations are returned to the state when the backup was taken.
It is recommended to collect backups of admin servers after configuring the target disks of image operations for all physical servers that require the configuration.
In the following cases, update the disk information, and configure the target disks of image operations again.
When restoring a backup of an admin server that was acquired before configuration of target disks of image operations
When modifying target disks of image operations after a backup of the admin server has been collected
When replacing disks configured as the target disks of image operations
