• About setting up storage systems
Setting up the prerequisite environment (mainframe systems)
To manage mainframe pairs, you must first set up storage systems using Remote Web Console. It is
also necessary to configure mainframe hosts for BCM operation and set up BCM definition files.
Depending on the copy types to be configured, different storage system setup operations need to be
performed with Remote Web Console. For details on operations to be performed on Remote Web
Console, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
The following operations need to be performed to set up mainframe hosts for BCM operation:
•
Set up RACF for user authentication
•
Specify the prefix and allocate datasets as follows for the definition files:
• For disk configuration definition files, allocate datasets whose name includes a DADID
• For copy group definition files, allocate datasets whose names include a copy group name
• If replicating datasets between sites, allocate the same name of the datasets to these sites
• If route lists and command devices are managed with BCM, allocate datasets of BCM config-
uration files
The following BCM setup operations need to be performed:
•
Identify DADIDs and prefixes used by Replication Manager and specify them as initialization
parameters for BCM Agent
•
Set up route lists and command devices to achieve either of the following:
• To retrieve or monitor C/T Delta with Replication Manager / BCM
• To discover volumes or perform pair operation on remote DKCs using local instances of BCM
(when no BCM exists on the secondary site)
For details on setting up BCM definition files, see the HP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager
Software Installation Guide.
Setting up the prerequisite environment (application replicas)
The following prerequisite elements must be set up before replica operations can be performed:
•
All necessary setup and configuration instructions have been followed as documented in the HP
P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
•
Application Agent has been installed on the Exchange or SQL Server and (if necessary) a backup
or import server registered to Replication Manager.
•
A copy pair configuration has been prepared in the Pair Configuration Wizard with a status of
Pair or Suspend. For Exchange servers, the Read disable (secondary) option must also be set. (To
access these options, click the edit icon in the Task List on the 4. Task Management page).
•
The database server has been set up in the Setup Application Agent dialog box and configured
as follows:
Server Options tab:
• Target instance
• Backup server (if a backup server is used)
• P9000 RAID Manager installation path
Replica Options tab:
• Select the Conceal Replicas option (to hide secondary volumes from the backup server)
