Notes on using the configuration definition file
The following provides notes on using a configuration definition file for RAID Manager to manage
copy pairs.
When editing the configuration definition file:
When you use Device Manager to create or change a configuration definition file, the information
that is defined in the file is automatically reported to the Device Manager server.
However, if you create or change a configuration definition file without using the Device Manager,
for example, by using the Replication Manager instead or by directly editing the file, you need
to manually report the file information to the Device Manager server.
If you refresh the storage system via the Device Manager GUI or CLI, information about the con-
figuration definition file is reported to the Device Manager server. Refresh all storage systems
associated with copy pair volumes that are specified in the configuration definition file.
When optimizing the configuration definition file:
If true is specified for the server.agent.rm.optimization.userHorcmFile property
of the server.properties file, when the Device Manager agent service starts, or when you
operate copy pairs, the Device Manager agent optimizes the contents of the RAID Manager
configuration definition file. In this case, note the following:
• For backing up the configuration definition file:
In the optimization processing, the original configuration definition file horcmXX.conf is
backed up as horcmXX.conf.bk. If the optimization is performed more than once, the ori-
ginal user-created configuration definition file will be lost because only one generation of
backup file is made. Therefore, back up as necessary.
• About a comment added to the command device definition:
When the RAID Manager configuration definition file is optimized, the unit ID, logical device
number, and serial number for the command device are added as comments on the line before
the line on which the command device is defined. In this case, note the following:
- Do not change the contents of the comment because the Device Manager agent references
it.
- When you copy the RAID Manager configuration definition file that the Device Manager
agent is already managing, and then create a new RAID Manager configuration definition
file, delete this comment.
When deleting copy pairs:
When you delete copy pairs from a management client, if all the definitions of the copy pairs in
a configuration definition file are deleted, that configuration definition file will also be deleted.
