Mount points

If different logical volumes are mounted in multiple mount points with a hierarchical relationship (such
as

M:\

and

M:\MNT

) do not specify a mount point that includes a lower level directory mountpoint

(for example,

M:\

in the above instance) as the target of replication. If this is done, the replica creation

fails and the error message (KAVX0006-E, DRM-10062) is output. To specify multiple mount points
(that include directory mount points) as replication targets, make sure they are not in a hierarchical
relationship.

Disabling of automatic mounting

Before using Application Agent, make sure that Automatic mounting of new volume is disabled on
the database server or backup server. Perform the following procedure to check the current status
and, if automatic mounting is enabled, disable it:

1.

Execute the

diskpart

command in the command prompt.

2.

Enter

automount

to display the current status.

3.

If automatic mounting of new volumes is enabled, enter

automount disable

to disable the

setting.

4.

Enter

exit

to end the

diskpart

command execution.

If you use the replica created prior to changing the pair configuration, you must restore the system to
the configuration associated with that replica. If you do not, a system mismatch might occur. Use the

drmsqlcat

or

drmexgcat

commands to confirm the configuration at the time of replica creation.

See the HP P9000 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI Reference Guide.

Backup servers and Windows Server 2008

If you are poerforming a VSS backup and the backup server is Windows Server 2008, specify

Offline

for the secondary volume. After replica creation, the secondary volume disk status becomes

Offline

, but if replica creation fails, the status might remain

Online

. If this happens, perform the

following procedure to change disk statuses of the secondary volumes on the backup server to

Offline

:

1.

Use the P9000 RAID Manager command

inqraid $Phys -CLI

all secondary volumes that are the backup destinations. The disk numbers are shown in the

DEVICE_FILE

column.

2.

Start the

diskpart

command and then enter

list disk

to display the current disk statuses.

A list of disks that are currently connected to the server are displayed. The disk numbers are
shown in the

Disk ###

column. Check the

Status

column and confirm the disk numbers cor-

responding to the disk numbers on the secondary volumes are

Online

.

3.

For each secondary volume whose disk status is

Online

, perform the following procedure:

a.

Enter:

select disk disk-number

.

The following message is displayed:

Disk disk-number is now the selected

disk.

b.

Enter:

offline disk

.

The following message is displayed:

DiskPart successfully offlined the selec-

ted disk.

4.

Enter
