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

• Time when the session was performed
• Name of the backup specification used in the session
• Name, ID, and WWN of the target volume created in the session
• Name and ID of the EVA storage system on which the target volume resides
• Target volume type (vsnap, standard snapshot, snapclone)
• ID of the source volume used in the session
• IR flag (indicating that the target volume can be used for instant recovery)
• Purge flag (indicating that the target volume is intended for deletion)
• RAID level of the target volume
• Excluded flag (indicating that the replica cannot be used for rotation and
instant recovery)
• Names of the application and backup systems involved in the session
This information is written to SMISDB when a replica is created, and is deleted
from the database when a replica is deleted.
• Retained source volumes flag (only after instant recovery if such option is selected).
SMISDB resides on the Cell Manager in:
• Windows: AppRM_home\db40\smisdb
• UNIX: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/smisdb
Configuring the integration
Before you start configuration, make sure you met the prerequisites described in
“Overview” on page 21. In addition, do the following:
For more information about BC configurations, see the HP Application Recovery
Manager software concepts guide.
HP-UX LVM mirroring configurations: Group the physical volumes of a volume group
into physical volume groups (PVGs). Each PVG may contain physical volumes from
one or more EVA(s). All logical volumes in a volume group must be created with the
PVG-strict allocation policy. Consequently, the mirrors will be created on different
PVGs.
Before you run a backup, ensure that the mirrors of logical volumes involved in the
backup are consistent. You can achieve this by running the vgsync command.
Alternatively, specify the vgsync command in the pre-exec option in the backup
specification. Consequently, Application Recovery Manager automatically runs the
command before the replica is created.
