Supported Environments; Supported Business Copy Environments - HP XP P9500 Configuration Manual

Host memory:
Static memory capacity: minimum = 300 KB, maximum = 500 KB
◦
Dynamic memory capacity (set in HORCM_CONF): maximum = 500 KB per unit ID
◦
Failover: RAID Manager supports several failover products, including FirstWatch,
MC/ServiceGuard, HACMP, TruCluster, and ptx/CLUSTERS. See
Table 10 (page 13)
High availability (HA) configurations: The system that runs and operates Continuous Access
Synchronous in an HA configuration must be a duplex system having a hot standby
configuration or mutual hot standby (mutual takeover) configuration. The remote copy system
must be designed for remote backup among servers and configured so that servers cannot
share the primary and secondary volumes at the same time. The information in this document
does not apply to fault-tolerant system configurations such as Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) in
which nodes execute parallel accesses. However, two or more nodes can share the primary
volumes of the shared OPS database, and must use the secondary volumes as backup volumes.
Host servers that are combined when paired logical volumes are defined should run on
◦
operating systems of the same architecture. If not, one host may not be able to recognize
a paired volume of another host, even though HORCM can run properly.
RAID storage systems:
Command Device: The RAID Manager command device must be defined and accessed
◦
as a raw device (no file system, no mount operation).
License keys: The option for each program product to be used must be installed and
◦
enabled on the RAID storage system.
◦ Snapshot: Bidirectional swap must be enabled between the primary and secondary
volumes. The port modes (for example, LCP, RCP, RCU target) and MCU-RCU paths must
be defined.
◦ Continuous Access Journal: The path between the CUs must be set using Remote Web
Console, and bidirectional swap must be enabled between the primary and secondary
volumes.
Snapshot: Both Business Copy and Snapshot must be installed and enabled on the RAID
◦
storage system.
