Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.01

Creating the Management Server list
On a host that resides on the same data center as the active management server, create the
Management Server list using an input file. To create use the following steps:
1. Create a configuration input file (A template of this file is available in /opt/cmcluster/
toolkit/SGCAEVA/smiseva.conf). An example of the smiseva.conf file is given in
“smiseva.conf file” (page 86)
2. Copy the template file /opt/cmcluster/toolkit/SGCAEVA/smiseva.conf to the
/etc/dtsconf/ directory.
# cp
/opt/cmcluster/toolkit/SGCAEVA/smiseva.conf/etc/dtsconf/smiseva.conf
3. For each Management Server in your configuration (both local and remote sites), enter the
Management Server’s hostname or IP address, the administrator login name, type of connection
(secure or non-secure), SMI-S name space and SMI-S port.
Creating the Management Server Mapping file
Use the smispasswd command to create or modify the Management Server information stored
in the mapping file.
For each Management Server listed in the file, a password prompt is displayed. A username and
password is created by your system administrator when the Management Server is configured
because of the security protocol for EVA. Enter the password associated with the username of the
SMI-S, and then re-enter it (as prompted) to verify that it is correct. Example:
# smispasswd -f /etc/dtsconf/smiseva.conf
Enter password of <hostname1/ip_address1>: **********
Re-enter password of <hostname1/ip_address1>: **********
Enter password of <hostname2/ip_address2>: **********
Re-enter password of <hostname2/ip_address2>: **********
All the Management Server information has been successfully generated.
NOTE: For more information on configuring the username and password for SMI-S on the
management server, see the HP P6000 Command View Installation Guide.
When all the passwords are entered, the configuration is written to the map file /etc/dtsconf/
caeva.map.
Setting a default Management Server
Use the smispasswd command to set the active Management Server that will be used by EVA
discovery tool.
For Example:
# smispasswd -d <hostname/ip_address>
The Management Server <hostname/ip_address> is set as the default active
SMI-S.
Displaying the list of Management Servers
Use the smispasswd command to display the current list of storage management servers that are
accessible by the cluster software. Example:
# smispasswd -l
MC/CAEVA Server list:
HOST USERNAME USE_SSL NAMESPACE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Host1:Port administrator N root/EVA
Host2:Port administrator N root/EVA
