HP StorageWorks File Migration Agent V2.1 administrator guide (T4274-96105, October 2006)
File Migration Agent administrator guide 127
To avoid recall operations during copying of your data, it is recommended that you create a duplicate of
the robocopy utility with the name NoRecRobocopy.exe and add the process name NoRecRobocopy
to the list of modules for which FMA allows a physical view to the file system.
Therefore, the following steps are necessary:
1. Install the robocopy.exe utility Version XP010 or higher by installing Microsoft’s Resource Kit.
2. Create the NoRecRobocopy command:
3. Add the process name NoRecRobocopy to FMA’s registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Hewlett-Packard
\HP FMA
\IgnoreModules
4. Restart the FMA services
• File Migration Agent config service
• File Migration Agent service
NOTE: When moving data to other server systems, ensure that the FMA archive configuration is identical
on all systems.
Relocating data procedure
This section describes the steps that are needed to copy a subdirectory from an FMA managed volume to
another FMA managed volume either local or remote. Assume that you want to relocate a subdirectory
named e:\homedir to f:\homedir.
1. Stop sharing the subdirectory to avoid user access during the relocation process.
2. Make sure that your data has been backed up.
3. Disable the files in the source directory.
Description:
When a “disabled” file is deleted, no entry is written to the “garbage collection” container and,
therefore, the corresponding archive copy will not be deleted during an FMA cleanup run. Additionally,
recall operations are rejected on “disabled” files.
(Check whether the files are set to DIS (DISABLED), use the command FMACLI info -r
e:\homedir.)
4. Use the appropriate NoRecRobocopy command now.
Example:
(Check that all files have been copied successfully to our target location.)
