HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1.1 Administrator Guide (web) (TB581-96065, September 2011)

Optimizing configuration definition files
If true is specified for the server.agent.rm.optimization.userHorcmFile property of the
server.properties file, when the Device Manager agent service starts, or when you operate
copy pairs, the Device Manager agent optimizes the contents of the RAID Manager configuration
definition file. In this case, note the following:
Notes on backing up the configuration definition file
In the optimization processing, the original configuration definition file horcmXX.conf is backed
up as horcmXX.conf.bk. If the optimization is performed more than once, the original user-
created configuration definition file will be lost because only one generation of backup file is
made. Therefore, back up as necessary.
Notes on a comment added to the command device definition
When the P9000 RAID Manager configuration definition file is optimized, the unit ID, logical
device number, and serial number for the command device are added as comments on the line
before the line on which the command device is defined. In this case, note the following:
• Do not change the contents of the comment because the Device Manager agent references
it.
• When you copy the P9000 RAID Manager configuration definition file that the Device Manager
agent is already managing, and then create a new RAID Manager configuration definition
file, delete this comment.
Configuration definition file storage location
Save the configuration definition file in the following folder or directory.
In Windows:
System folder (represented by the environment variable %windir%)
In UNIX:
/etc directory
Required operations when creating or changing a configuration definition file
When you use Device Manager to create or change a configuration definition file, the information
that is defined in the file is automatically reported to the Device Manager server. However, if you
create or change a configuration definition file without using the Device Manager, for example, by
using the Replication Manager instead or by directly editing the file, you need to manually report the
file information to the Device Manager server.
If you refresh the storage system via the Device Manager GUI or CLI, information about the
configuration definition file is reported to the Device Manager server. Refresh all storage systems
associated with copy pair volumes that are specified in the configuration definition file.
Note about deleting copy pairs
When you delete copy pairs from a management client, if all the definitions of the copy pairs in a
configuration definition file are deleted, that configuration definition file will also be deleted. If you
do not want the configuration definition file to be deleted, back up of the configuration definition file
before you delete the copy pairs.
