Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA P6000 for Linux B.12.00.00

1. Create a configuration input file. A template of this file is available at the following location
for Red Hat and SUSE. For an example of the smiseva.conf file, see“smiseva.conf file”
(page 41).
The smiseva.conf is available at:
$SGCONF/mccaeva/smiseva.conf
2. Copy the template file smiseva.conf to the desired location.
# cp $SGCONF/cmcaeva/smiseva.conf <desired location>
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 P6000/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.
# smispasswd -f <desired location>/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: The desired location is where the modified smiseva.conf file is located.
For more information on configuring the username and password for SMI-S on the management
server, see the HP P6000 Command View Installation Guide.
After the passwords are entered, the configuration is written to the caeva.map map file located
at:
$SGCONF/mccaeva
Setting a default Management Server
Use the smispasswd command to set the active Management Server that will be used by
evadiscovery 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
