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

EVA_HOSTNAMEALIASES: Allows a given ID to match the EVA host objects.
Default: no hostnames specified. To add more hostnames to the search, specify
hostname object names for this variable.
Example
Your backup host is represented within CV EVA by:
• /Hosts/Backup hosts/MyHost_Port1
• /Hosts/Backup hosts/MyHost_Port2
To force EVA client to find these host objects, set:
EVA_HOSTNAMEALIASES=MyHost_Port1,MyHost_Port2
ZDB_VOLUMESCAN_RETRIES: During the backup system preparation, the system is
scanned for new filesystem volumes. This variable defines the number of scans required
to identify the new volumes.
The variable is only applicable on Windows.
Default: 5 retries. If scanning takes longer (a known problem on Windows Server
2003), increase the default setting.
ZDB_POST_RESCAN_INIT_DELAY: During the backup system preparation, the system
is scanned for new filesystem volumes. This variable sets the time period to wait
before initiating next scan of new filesystem volumes.
The variable is only applicable on Windows.
Default: 30 seconds.
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG: With HP-UX LVM mirroring, defines the physical volume
group (PVG) to be selected for BC pair replication. Application Recovery Manager
checks the value of this variable when at least one logical volume identified as a
backup object is mirrored.
The variable format is as follows:
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG=VGNAME1:PVG_NAME;VGNAME2:PVG_NAME; ...
For example, if three volume groups are participating in backup, you can define the
following in your application system configuration file:
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG=/dev/vg01:PVG-0;/vgAppln1:PVG-1;/dev/vgAppln2:PVG-1
When the backup objects are from the volume group /dev/vg01, SMI-S Agent
applies the mirror selection rules and prefers PVG-0 over any other valid PVG defined
for if when the same disk array is used. On other disk array, any valid PVG will be
used.
