Resource group locking function
The resource group locking function prevents conflict among multiple users:
User scripts cannot be guaranteed to work correctly when there are multiple users (Remote Web
Console and SVP). You can use the Lock command while the script is running to ensure completion.
To use the Lock command, user authentication is required.
RAID Manager functions available on all RAID storage systems
RAID Manager provides the following functionality on all HP RAID storage systems.
•
In-system replication
•
Remote replication
•
Data protection
In-system replication
RAID Manager provides command-line control for in-system replication operations, including
Business Copy and Snapshot. RAID Manager displays Business Copy and Snapshot information
and allows you to perform operations by issuing commands or by executing a script file.
Remote replication
RAID Manager provides command-line control for remote replication operations, including
Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal. RAID Manager displays Continuous
Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal information and allows you to perform
operations by issuing commands or by executing a script file.
For remote copy operations, RAID Manager interfaces with the system software and high-availability
(HA) software on the host as well as the software on the RAID storage system. RAID Manager
provides failover operation commands that support mutual hot standby in conjunction with
industry-standard failover products (e.g., MC/ServiceGuard, HACMP, FirstWatch®). RAID Manager
also supports a scripting function for defining multiple operations in a script (or text) file. Using
RAID Manager scripting, you can set up and execute a large number of commands in a short
period of time while integrating host-based high-availability control over copy operations.
Data protection
RAID Manager continues to support data protection operations, including Database Validator and
Data Retention.
•
Database Validator. The RAID Manager software provides commands to set and verify
parameters for volume-level validation checking of Oracle database operations. Once validation
checking is enabled, all write operations to the specified volumes must have valid Oracle
checksums. RAID Manager reports a validation check error to the syslog file each time an
error is detected. Database Validator requires the operation of RAID Manager software product
but cannot be controlled via the Remote Web Console software.
•
Data Retention. The RAID Manager software enables you to set and verify the parameters for
guarding at the volume level. Once guarding is enabled, the RAID storage system conceals
the target volumes from SCSI commands such as SCSI Inquiry and SCSI Read Capacity,
prevents reading and writing to the volume, and protects the volume from being used as a
copy volume (the Continuous Access Synchronous or Business Copy paircreate operation
fails).
