This is not required for a backup server.
When a primary volume exists in the backup server, the dictionary map files must be updated.
When the primary volume does not exist in the backup server, updating of the dictionary map
files is not necessary.

Setting up RAID Manager

To back up data by using Application Agent, you need to create a RAID Manager configuration
definition file (

horcm

n

.conf

, when n is the instance number) for each instance, to match the intended

usage.

The location of the RAID Manager configuration definition file (

horcm

n

.conf

) is as follows:

system-drive

\Windows

NOTE:

Do not specify a path to the configuration definition file in the

HORCM_CONF

environment variable.

When using the Device Manager agent on the same host as Application Agent, do not set the

server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm

property in the

server.properties

file. For

details about the

server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm

property, see the

HP P9000

Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.

In Application Agent, a pair of a primary volume and secondary volume is managed as a copy group.
A copy group is defined by a combination of

dev_group

and

dev_name

specified in a RAID

Manager configuration definition file.

Application Agent does not allow duplication of copy group names on the same server. If more than
one RAID Manager instance is activated, make sure that the combination of

dev_group

and

dev_name

is unique among all the RAID Manager configuration definition files.

If the system contains both a copy group that is subject to Application Agent backup operation and
a copy group that is not subject to Application Agent backup operation, the conditions below must
be met. If an Application Agent command is executed when the conditions below are not met, pair
volumes that are not subject to backup operation will enter an unexpected state.

A copy group that is subject to Application Agent backup operation and a copy group that is not
subject to Application Agent backup operation must be defined with different

dev_group

names.

The primary volumes of all copy groups defined with the same

dev_group

name as a copy group

that is subject to Application Agent backup operation must be connected to a database server or
file server.

In addition, HP recommends that you define pair volumes that are not subject to Application Agent
backup operation in the RAID Manager configuration definition file (

horcm.conf

) of a RAID Manager

instance that is different from the one used by Application Agent.

Application Agent supports the

HORCM_LDEV

section of the RAID Manager configuration definition

file (

horcmn.conf

) if the RAID Manager version is 01-18-03/06 or later. Application Agent supports

the

HORCM_ALLOW_INST

and

HORCM_LDEVG

sections in configuration definition files (

horcmn.conf

)

if the RAID Manager version is 01-24-03/12 or later.
