The following is the SYSCFG behavior during replication:
• Options not available in SYSCFG are termed invalid options. If SYSCFG encounters an invalid option in the syscfg.ini le, the
SYSCFG utility terminates.
• Unsupported options are options available in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG encounters an
unsupported option, SYSCFG logs this option and continues to the next option.
• Unsupported arguments are arguments valid in SYSCFG but not applicable on certain systems. If SYSCFG encounters an
unsupported argument, SYSCFG terminates.
• SYSCFG logs a message in the log le for each option processed in the syscfg.ini le. To generate the log le, use the logle
option.
RAID Replication
The RAID replication feature reads the RAID conguration information from the source system and creates a raid.ini le. This raid.ini
le can be applied to the RAID congurations of the target system. The RAID replication requires both, the source system and the
target system to have similar RAID controllers.
RACADM Replication
The RACREP.BAT sample script applies RAC conguration options to the target system based on the conguration information that
has been saved in a conguration le. User input is optional, depending on variables set in the RACREP.BAT sample script. This
script uses the RACADM.EXE utility to congure the RAC in the target system using the RAC conguration le, raccfg.ini. The
raccfg.ini conguration le is passed as the rst parameter to the RACREP.BAT script. If this parameter is not passed, the default
variable values used in this script are set in the TKENVSET.BAT scripts. An optional second parameter can be passed to this le,
which species the IP address used in conguring the RAC. The raccfg.ini le is generated with the RACCAP.BAT sample script.
