• The host name specified for ip_address is case sensitive.
• Match the IP address version (IPv6 or IPv4) specified for ip_address to the one specified for
HORCM_MON.
• When an IPv6 environment is being used, you cannot specify a host name. If you specify a host
name, an IPv4 environment is used.
• The following values are not allowed for ip_address because the Device Manager server cannot
resolve a host with those values.
When the version of the Device Manager agent is 5.8 or later:
Cluster virtual IP address
Cluster virtual machine name
When the version of the Device Manager agent is 5.7 or earlier:
Loopback IP address (from 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254)
Loopback host name (localhost)
Cluster virtual IP address
Cluster virtual machine name
• For service, specify the port name using 1 to 15 single-byte characters. The environment must
support the conversion of port names to port numbers.
• For service, specify the port number as a numeric value from 0 to 65535.
Notes about creating a configuration definition file
The following are important notes that are applicable when RAID Manager is used with Device
Manager.
Instance number and service number of a configuration definition file
The instance number of the configuration definition file must be from 0 to 4094 (if Device Manager
is used to acquire and operate copy pair information). A value from 900 to 998 might be used to
temporarily acquire and operate copy pair information. Therefore, we recommend that you use a
value other than these numbers.
In addition, when RAID Manager is used with Device Manager, we recommend that you do not use
service numbers 53232 to 53330. If these service numbers are used, RAID Manager error information
might be output to the system log or event log.
Optimizing configuration definition files
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:
Notes on 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 original user-
created configuration definition file will be lost because only one generation of backup file is
made. Therefore, back up as necessary.
