HP StorageWorks P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.1 CLI User Guide (TB584-96026, May 2011)

• When using Continuous Access Software, do not enter an MU number in the MU# setting in the
RAID Manager configuration definition file (horcmn.conf). If 0 is defined for the MU# setting,
volume information for the Continuous Access Software pair will not be stored in the dictionary
map when you execute a drmXXdisplay
#
command with the -refresh option specified.
Therefore, the volume information cannot be displayed by the Application Agent command, and
the pair volume cannot be backed up.
#
drmXXdisplay indicates the drmfsdisplay, drmsqldisplay, or drmexgdisplay
command.
• When using Continuous Access Journal, define h0 (h and a generation number) for the MU#
setting in the RAID Manager configuration definition file (horcmn.conf). If 0 is defined for MU#,
the Continuous Access Journal information will not be stored in the dictionary map when you execute
a drmXXdisplay command with the -refresh option specified. Therefore, volume information
cannot be displayed by the Application Agent command, and the pair volume cannot be backed
up.
• When using Continuous Access Software or Continuous Access Journal, make sure that you start
the RAID Manager instance that manages the secondary volume (the RAID Manager instance that
manages the primary volume when you are executing the command in a backup server) in advance.
• The RAID Manager configuration definition file (horcmn.conf) of a RAID Manager instance that
links with Application Agent must satisfy the following conditions:
• The RAID Manager configuration definition file (horcmn.conf) must be in the Windows dir-
ectory (%windir%).
The environment variable HORCM_CONF cannot be used to change the location of the RAID
Manager configuration definition file (horcmn.conf).
• The instance number (n) in the RAID Manager configuration definition file name (horcmn.conf)
must include only numeric characters. Also, note that 0 must not be placed before numeric
characters.
Examples of valid file names: horcm1.conf, horcm120.conf
Examples of invalid file names: horcm001.conf, horcmA20.conf
• When using Continuous Access Software or Continuous Access Journal, make sure that you create
a pair before executing a Application Agent command. If you do not, the pair volume cannot be
backed up.
• When performing a backup or restoration on a database server, make sure that you unmount the
secondary volume in advance. If you do not, unexpected backup or restoration might be performed.
• When you want to mix the pair volumes for Business Copy and Continuous Access Software, the
following system configurations can be used:
