HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Administrator's guide (March 2008)

Common ZDB variables
This section explains omnirc variables that can be set for all ZDB agents.
ZDB_ALWAYS_POST_SCRIPT: By default, the command set by the Restart the
application option is not executed if Stop/quiesce the application fails.
If this variable = 1, the command set by Restart the application is always executed.
Default: 0.
ZDB_IR_VGCHANGE: On HP-UX platform, determines the mode in which replicated
volume groups on the application system are activated after restore. The variable
can be set on the application system only.
Select from the following modes:
• Exclusive: ZDB_IR_VGCHANGE_A=vgchange -a e
• Shared: ZDB_IR_VGCHANGE_A=vgchange -a s
• Normal (default): ZDB_IR_VGCHANGE_A=vgchange -q n -a y
IMPORTANT:
Use exclusive mode to enable instant recovery if an application/filesystem runs in the
MC/ServiceGuard cluster on the application system.
ZDB_IR_MANUAL_AS_PREPARATION: To manually prepare the application system
for instant recovery (dismounting filesystems and disabling volume groups), set this
variable to 1. After instant recovery, manually enable volume groups and mount
filesystems again.
Use this variable also if automatic preparation of the application system fails because
the application data configuration changed after backup. For example, if a failover
to a secondary cluster node occurred between backup and instant recovery,
Application Recovery Manager may have difficulty matching the secondary node
resources to resources that existed on the primary node during backup.
Default: 0.
