4 Starting up RAID Manager

You can begin using the RAID Manager software after you have installed the RAID Manager
software, set the command device, created the configuration definition file(s), and (for OpenVMS
only) followed the porting requirements and restrictions. One or two instances of RAID Manager
can be used simultaneously in UNIX, Windows, and OpenVMS operating system environments.

Starting up on UNIX systems

One instance

To start up one instance of RAID Manager on a UNIX system:
1.

Modify /etc/services to register the port name/number (service) of each configuration definition
file. Make the port name/number the same on all servers:

horcm xxxxx/udp

xxxxx

= the port name/number for horcm.conf

2.

If you want RAID Manager to start automatically each time the system starts up, add
/etc/horcmstart.sh to the system automatic startup file (for example, /sbin/rc).

3.

Execute the horcmstart.sh script manually to start the RAID Manager instances: # horcmstart.sh

4.

Set the log directory (HORCC_LOG) in the command execution environment as needed.

5.

If you want to perform Continuous Access Synchronous operations, do not set the HORCC_MRCF
environment variable. If you want to perform Business Copy operations, set the HORCC_MRCF
environment variable for the RAID Manager execution environment.

For B shell:

# HORCC_MRCF=1 # export HORCC_MRCF

For C shell:

# setenv HORCC_MRCF 1 # pairdisplay -g xxxx xxxx = group name

Two instances

To start up two instances of RAID Manager on a UNIX system:
1.

Modify /etc/services to register the port name/number (service) of each configuration definition
file. The port name/number must be different for each RAID Manager instance.

horcm0 xxxxx/udp

xxxxx

= the port name/number for horcm0.conf

horcm1 yyyyy/udp

yyyyy

= the port name/number for horcm1.conf

2.

If you want RAID Manager to start automatically each time the system starts up, add
/etc/horcmstart.sh 0 1 to the system automatic startup file (for example, /sbin/rc).

3.

Execute the horcmstart.sh script manually to start the RAID Manager instances: # horcmstart.sh
0 1

4.

Set an instance number to the command execution environment:

For B shell:

# HORCMINST=X # export HORCMINST

X

= instance number = 0 or 1

For C shell:

# setenv HORCMINST X
