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

\DRM\bin\util\drmdbsetup -i

PROMPT> set DRM_HOSTNAME=VHOST2

PROMPT>

Application-Agent-installation-folder

\DRM\bin\util\drmdbsetup -i

When the dictionary map files and backup catalog are created, the following message appears:

All data files were created.
