7.1 Resources Required for Clustered System

When you install AdvancedCopy Manager on a clustered system, the following resources are required:

Each item is explained below.

Takeover IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager

Allocate a new IP address that is unique in the network for operating AdvancedCopy Manager's agent in a clustered system. IP address is required for each AdvancedCopy Manager transaction.

It is recommended that you prepare and add a new logical IP address for AdvancedCopy Manager.

When allocating a new IP address, check whether existing transactions use the IP address as a takeover resource, and make sure that adding the corresponding IP address has no adverse effect on transactions.

When using an existing logical IP address, make sure that sharing the logical IP address with AdvancedCopy Manager does not cause a problem in (does not restrict) existing products that already use the logical IP address.

Partitions for storing shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager

Prepare partitions on the shared disk for storing shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager. The number of required partitions are listed below. Note that the number of partitions are required for each transaction. Refer to "7.2 Capacity Required for Shared Disk" for information on the required size of the shared disks.

Note

When you specify a shared disk for shared data, be careful about the following points:

  • Define the shared disk for shared data as a shared disk of a clustered system.

  • Assign a disk that is not used by the AdvancedCopy Manager backup/replication operation.

  • Allocate a disk that is not used by AdvancedCopy Manager CCM as a copy source, copy destination, or access volume.

  • Create a file system on the shared disk for shared data.

  • Use disks other than the Quorum disk. (for Windows only)

  • Do not create the multiple partitions on the shared disk for shared data. (for Windows only)
