Setting up Application Agent for linkage with RAID Manager

Do not set

HORCMINST

or

HORCC_MRCF

in the system environment variable. Also, do not set

HORCM_CONF

or

HORCMPERM

in the system environment variable or the user environment variable.

For the RAID Manager settings, add or change the parameters in the RAID Manager-linkage definition
file (

DEFAULT.dat

). However, do not delete or modify the following parameters since they are used

internally by Application Agent:

VENDER

PRODUCT

The location of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (

DEFAULT.dat

) is stored in the following

location:

Application-Agent-installation-folder

\DRM\conf\raid

Note

Application Agent does not support RAID Manager's Protection Facility. If you link to RAID Man-
ager, disable its Protection Facility.

Specifying instance numbers

For parameters

HORCMINST

and

HORCMINST_AUX

, specify the instance number of the RAID Manager

instance. The specified instance number must be equal to the instance number used in the RAID
Manager configuration definition file name (n in

horcm

n

.conf

) on the server.

Notes

To utilize, for example, the volume replication function within the storage system when the RAID
Manager instance for managing the primary volumes and the RAID Manager instance for managing
the secondary volumes are on the same server, specify the instance numbers as indicated below:
• Specify both

HORCMINST

and

HORCMINST_AUX

.

For instance numbers to specify for

HORCMINST

and

HORCMINST_AUX

, see

Table 24

.

• The values for

HORCMINST

and

HORCMINST_AUX

are reversed when specifying settings for

either file servers and database servers, or for backup servers.

To utilize, for example, the volume replication function between storage systems when the RAID
Manager instance for managing the primary volumes and the RAID Manager instance for managing
the secondary volumes are on separate servers, specify the instance numbers as indicated below:
• Specify only

HORCMINST

(not

HORCMINST_AUX

).

For instance numbers to specify for

HORCMINST

, see

Table 24

.

• The RAID Manager instances specified in

HORCMINST

must be started on each server.

If a RAID Manager instance which is not located on the server is specified in

HORCMINST_AUX

,

an error message indicating failure to start the RAID Manager instance is output to the application
log. If the instance is not associated with the subject of processing, processing of the Application
Agent command will continue despite this error message. Also, the result of the command will not
be affected.

It is recommended that you start the RAID Manager instances specified in

HORCMINST

and

HOR-

CMINST_AUX

before executing a Application Agent command.

When specifying multiple instance numbers in

HORCMINST

and

HORCMINST_AUX

, write each

instance number on a separate line, as shown below:

HORCMINST=0
