1. Set 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 a DRM_DB_PATH=directory-in-shared-disk;virtual-server-name entry for
each virtual server. When editing the files, note the following points:
• Add the entry to the last line of the init.conf file.
• In directory-in-shared-disk, specify a cluster resource of virtual-server-name.
• 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.
• After directory-in-shared-disk;virtual-server-name, always enter a linefeed code.
• The extended commands automatically create a temporary directory during operations. The
location of the temporary directory for extended commands is in 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. In the configuration definition file
(init.conf), add DRM_DB_PATH once for each Exchange virtual server included in the
cluster configuration.
The following shows an example Application Agent configuration definition file (init.conf).
DRM_DB_PATH=J:\PTM;VHOST1
DRM_DB_PATH=K:\PTM;VHOST2
2. Create the dictionary map files and backup catalog on each shared disk.
At the two servers comprising the cluster configuration, place the virtual server into the Active
status, and then execute the drmdbsetup utility as shown below:
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=VHOST1
PROMPT> Application-Agent-installation-folder\bin\util\drmdbsetup -i
PROMPT> set DRM_HOSTNAME=VHOST2
PROMPT> Application-Agent-installation-folder\bin\util\drmdbsetup -i
When the dictionary map files and backup catalog are created, the following message appears:
All data files were created.
