Workaround: None. Backup and instant recovery are not affected.
Other non-Application Recovery Manager issues
• Application Recovery Manager uses host name resolution to communicate between
hosts. This is done either via DNS servers or via /etc/hosts or
/etc/lmhosts file. If the DNS service is not available or correctly configured
on the Windows clients, you can edit the hosts (lmhosts) file, which are
located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc directory. Use the
hosts file if you want to map IP addresses to hostnames and lmhosts file if
you want to map IP addresses to computer (NetBIOS) names. Additional
information on how you can edit these files is found in the beginning of these two
files. After you have done editing, terminate the Application Recovery Manager
GUI and restart it for changes to take effect. You must ensure that the name
resolution is consistent throughout the Application Recovery Manager cell.
• Backup on HP-UX 11.31 systems, where one or both of application or backup
clients use the new (agile) naming scheme may fail, with a message, similar to
the following:
The legacy naming model is disabled, but the /etc/lvmtab
file still contains legacy devices such as
"/dev/dsk/c2t3d1". Command will not succeed until either
the legacy device is removed from the /etc/lvmtab file or
the legacy mode is enabled using insf(1M) -L.
This can happen, if there are inconsistencies in the /etc/lvmtab file.
Normally, the command to disable the legacy file naming convention rmsf -L
should fail if the legacy files are in use. This may not always be the case. For
example, the files are not considered to be in use if the volume groups using them
are disabled, nevertheless any subsequent vgimport command will fail, because
the disabled volume group is still recorded in /etc/lvmtab.
Solution: Resolve inconsistencies in the /etc/lvmtab file. After that, the backup
should succeed.
