HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.1-00 Configuration Guide

Using P9000 RAID Manager to configure pair volumes
Within a copy group, only include the pair volumes for one application. If the pair volumes of multiple
applications are mixed together in one copy group, unintended backups and restorations might occur.
Device Manager and P9000 RAID Manager
For P9000 RAID Manager to be started on the database and/or backup servers automatically, Device
Manager Agent needs to be installed on both servers.
If Device Manager Agent is not installed, you must manually start the P9000 RAID Manager instance
on both the backup and database servers before carrying out replica operations. (If P9000 RAID
Manager is not started, the replica operation will fail.)
Starting and stopping P9000 RAID Manager
Application Agent automatically starts and stops the local P9000 RAID Manager instance as needed.
However, if P9000 RAID Manager is already running when Application Agent executes a command,
P9000 RAID Manager might not be stopped when the command completes. You should take this into
account when choosing the startup method for each P9000 RAID Manager instance.
Settings for Application Agent in a cluster configuration (MSCS)
This section describes the steps necessary to configure replica operations properly in a cluster
configuration. Application Agent provides a dedicated command (drmjobsch.exe) for switching
the target node. You must set up this command in the cluster software so that it runs automatically
when a failover occurs.
Verify the following before performing the appropriate procedure for the cluster software you are
using:
• Application Agent and the cluster software have been installed successfully.
• You have logged in as a member of the Administrators group.
Perform the following procedure on each server that makes up the virtual server:
1. Create a VBScript file named RecoverJob.vbs in the following location:
Application-Agent-installation-folder\DRM\schedule
You can specify a different name and location for the VBScript file, but for maintenance reasons,
HP recommends that you use the above file name and file storage location.
2. In the VBScript file, specify the recovery processing to be performed by drmjobsch.exe. At
the entry point Function Online( ), specify that the following command is to be executed
(where virtual-server-name is the name of a virtual server to be put online):
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\bin\drmjobsch.exe -recover
-hostname virtual-server-name
See Sample VBScript file for a completed script. In the example,
Application-Agent-installation-folder is C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\DRM.
