HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.0-00 Application Agent CLI User Guide

NOTE:
Of the physical disks connected to the device adapter port, do not use the LUN#0 disk for the
primary and secondary volumes if the secondary volume is to be recognized dynamically. If you
use the LUN#0 physical disk, the system might not be able to recognize the other physical disks.
• Method to make the OS statically recognize the secondary volume:
Reboot the backup server to make the OS statically recognize a single generation secondary
volume. Application Agent performs backups and restorations using this secondary volume. This
method is applicable when there is a single generation of the secondary volume only.
After commencing this operation, it is necessary to delete the copy group mount definition file, and
specify the method for mounting a secondary volume after a system initial construction or volume
configuration changes.
For details on how a mount point and secondary volume (copy group) are determined when the
command for mounting a secondary volume is executed, see “Determining a mount point and mount
target when mounting a secondary volume” on page 178.
Making the OS dynamically recognize the secondary volume
This subsection describes the procedure for specifying how to mount a secondary volume, by using
the method of making the OS dynamically recognize the secondary volume. The following describes
cases where a copy group mount definition file is created and cases where the file is not created.
A copy group mount definition file is created in the following location:
Application-Agent-installation-destination\DRM\conf\vm\CG_MP.conf
To specify how to mount a secondary volume:
1. Conceal all secondary volumes from the backup server.
To conceal all secondary volumes from the backup server, execute the drmdevctl command
on the backup server.
BKServer > drmdevctl -detach
BKServer >
2. Use the Windows disk management functionality or a RAID Manager command to confirm that
the secondary volumes are concealed.
The following example, uses the inqraid command of RAID Manager:
BKServer >echo hd0-1 | inqraid -CLI
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID
Harddisk0 - - - - - - - -
Harddisk1 - - - - - - - -
