Specifiable values
(default)
DescriptionParameter
0 to 3600
(10)
For this parameter, specify the same number of
seconds as the retry interval for checking the com-
mand status.
COM_RETRY_WAIT
Setting up the backup option for SQL Server database backup
To shorten the time required for backup when the drmsqlbackup command is executed, you can
skip the confirmation of the SQL Server database status. If you want to shorten the time required for
backup, specify the following parameter.
Table 20 Parameter in init.conf (backup option)
Specifiable values
(default)
DescriptionParameter
0 or 1
(none)
Set this parameter to skip the confirmation of the
SQL Server database status and thereby shorten
the time required for backup when the
drmsqlbackup command is executed. If 0 is
specified, or this parameter is not specified,
Application Agent will check the database status.
If you specify 1, Application Agent will skip the
confirmation of the database status.
Generally, this parameter should be set to 0.
SQL_QUICK_BACKUP
In addition to changing the parameter, check the following to shorten the time required for backup:
• Make sure that the database to be backed up is online.
If the database to be backed up is not online, an error occurs at the time the backup operation is
performed on an SQL Server database.
• Make sure that the RAID Manager instance that manages the copy group to be operated is running.
If the RAID Manager instance is not running, an error occurs when the RAID Manager command
is issued.
• Make sure that the previous backup information has been deleted.
Use the drmsqlcat command to confirm that the backup information has been deleted. To delete
the backup information, use the drmresync command.
• Make sure that the status of the copy group for which operations are to be performed is
PVOL_PAIR.
Use the RAID Manager pairdisplay command to confirm the status of the copy group.
• If you are using a XP1024/XP128 series, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, HP XP24000, HP
XP20000, or Virtual Storage Platform storage system, make sure that the Quick Split option is
enabled.
If the Quick Split option of the storage system is not on, making the SQL Server database static is
canceled in the PVOL_COPY status. Making a database static means that only disk writing oper-
ations are temporarily stopped, without stopping SQL Server database updates. When making
the database static is canceled, the backup data of the secondary volume might become corrupted.
