HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide (TK981-96015, May 2014)

1. Change the locations of the dictionary map files and backup catalog.
In the init.conf configuration definition files of Application Agent on the active and standby
servers respectively, add the DRM_DB_PATH=directory-on-the-shared-disk;virtual-server-name
entry. When editing the files, note the following points:
• Add the entry to the last line of the init.conf file.
• After directory-on-the-shared-disk;virtual-server-name, always enter a
linefeed code.
• Specify a shared disk that is different from the volume to be backed up. Do not specify a
shared disk that is configured as part of a pair volume that is to be backed up.
• The extended commands automatically create a temporary directory during operations. The
location of the temporary directory for extended commands is at the same level as the directory
that stores the dictionary map files. To use the extended commands in a cluster configuration,
the directory that stores the dictionary map files must be on a shared disk so that the extended
commands can share the temporary directory.
• Specify a directory name by using an absolute path.
NOTE:
• If Veritas Cluster Server is used in the cluster configuration, the virtual server name in
DRM_DB_PATH must be the same as VirtualName of the Lanman resource that exists
in the service group to be backed up.
• If the backup target is an Exchange database, specify the name of the Exchange virtual
server as the virtual server name in DRM_DB_PATH.
The following shows an example entry in the Application Agent configuration definition file
(init.conf).
RM_DB_PATH=H:\PTM;VHOST
2. Place the dictionary map files and backup catalog on the shared disk.
Execute the drmdbsetup utility on the active server. You do not need to execute the utility on
the standby server by switching the cluster.
Before you execute the drmdbsetup utility, you must set the virtual server name in the
DRM_HOSTNAME environment variable. Note that if you omit the virtual server name, the system
creates dictionary map files in the default dictionary map files storage directory instead of creating
it on the shared disk, which invalidates the cluster settings by Application Agent.
If the backup target is an Exchange database, specify the name of the Exchange virtual server
as the virtual server name.
To execute the drmdbsetup utility, specify the following commands:
PROMPT> set DRM_HOSTNAME=VHOST
PROMPT> Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\bin\util\drmdbsetup -i
When the dictionary map files and backup catalog are created, the following message appears:
All data files were created.
3. When Veritas Cluster Server is used, execute the drmclusinit command to register cluster
resource information.
For details, see “Creating a cluster information configuration definition file when using Veritas
cluster server” on page 137.
