Follow the procedure below to set up a Managed Server transaction.
Note
Perform the procedures using Administrator privileges. The Windows "Computer Browser service" must be activated if a user belonging to the Administrators of the domain wants to perform customization. If the other products are not using "Computer Browser Service", after this operation is completed, "Computer Browser Service" can be stopped without causing any problems.

If necessary, specify the resource dependency and the ownership required for execution.
Add a transaction disk resource to the dependency of the following resources by using the Failover Cluster Manager.
AdvancedCopy COM Service_logicalNodeName
Note
When a volume is added, or when it is deleted, it is necessary to again set up the above-mentioned dependency. Refer to "Notes on Cluster Operation" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide (for Windows) for information about this.
If the number of clustered system nodes is greater than the number of cluster transaction nodes (such as in an n:1 standby system), using the Failover Cluster Manager, change the property information (ownership required for execution) of the AdvancedCopy Manager resources belonging to the cluster transaction for only the nodes operating in the cluster transaction. Refer to your cluster software manuals for information on how to change the ownership required for execution.
The property information must be changed for the following resources:
AdvancedCopy COM Service_logicalNodeName
AdvancedCopy IP Address_logicalNodeName (if "New" has been selected in the IP Address Resource with the cluster setup command of AdvancedCopy Manager.)
AdvancedCopy Network_logicalNodeName (if "New" has been selected in the IP Address Resource with the cluster setup command of AdvancedCopy Manager.)
Shared disk for shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager
Backup volume or replication destination volume
On the primary node, start the AdvancedCopy Manager service.
Use the Failover Cluster Manager to take the cluster transaction whose settings have been completed online and to start AdvancedCopy Manager service.
Back up the environment.
As a safeguard against accidental loss of data or file corruption, using the copy function (for example, Windows Explorer), back up the following folders in the shared disk for shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager:
<Drive of the shared disk for shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager>:\etc
<Drive of the shared disk for shared data of AdvancedCopy Manager>:\var
Check the operation node.
Using the Failover Cluster Manager, check that the cluster transaction operates on the node.
Create an environment for the Managed Server transaction.
Create an environment for the replication operation or backup/restore operation, which is executed in AdvancedCopy Manager, in a Managed Server transaction.
Refer to the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide (for Windows) to create the environment for Managed Server transactions according to the operation type.
Note
When adding a Managed Server to a Managed Server transaction, execute the "stgxfwcmaddsrv" command.
programDir\ACM\bin\stgxfwcmaddsrv [-n serverName] -i logicalIpAddr -p portNumber
programDir : "Program Directory" specified at the AdvancedCopy Manager's agent installation
serverName : Server name
logicalIpAddr : Logical IP address
portNumber : Port number
Refer to "2.4.2 Cluster Transaction and Local Transaction" for information on the specified argument for command option.
Refer to "Command References" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for information on the command.
Restart all nodes.
If the secondary node in n:1 Standby system was already completely installed and customized (including the restart) earlier, restart only the primary node.
