For more information about LVM mirroring configurations, see
“ZDB in HP-UX LVM mirroring environments” on page 31 and the HP Application
Recovery Manager software concepts guide. For more information about LVM
mirroring, see the HP-UX Managing Systems and Workgroups manual.
To configure the integration:
• Provide the login information for SMI-S EVA Provider running on a management
system. See “Setting the login information for SMI-S EVA Provider” on page 24.
• If desired, set disk group pairs. See
“EVA disk group pairs configuration file” on page 24.
Setting the login information for SMI-S EVA Provider
Before starting ZDB sessions, provide the login information for SMI-S EVA Provider
running on a management system.
To set, delete, list, or check the login information, use the omnidbsmis CLI command.
See the omnidbsmis man page for command syntax and examples.
If a failover from the active to the standby management system happens, proceed
as follows:
• If standby and failed management systems have the same hostname, no action
is needed.
• If standby and failed management systems have different hostnames, remove the
failed system from the Application Recovery Manager configuration, and then
add the new management system.
IMPORTANT:
If your SMI-S EVA Provider is using non-default port numbers for SSL and non-SSL
connections, enter the settings in the SMISDB database accordingly (use omnidbsmis).
To verify the configuration of SMI-S EVA Provider, run
omnidbsmis -ompasswd -check [-host hostname]. It is recommended to
run this command before backups and instant recovery sessions to check if the SMI-S
EVA Provider is operational and available on the network.

(original virtual disks). In this way, you help to reduce any potential application
