Prerequisites for using a configuration definition file in Device Manager
Before you create a configuration definition file, refer to section “Parameters and requirements for
the configuration definition file” on page 223 so that you create a file that uses items supported by
Device Manager. Store the created configuration definition file in the location shown in section
“Configuration definition file storage location” on page 232.
In addition, to use the configuration definition file, the Device Manager agent must be installed on
the host on which RAID Manager is installed, and the settings for Device Manager server information
and for managing copy pairs with Device Manager must be specified. For detailed settings information,
see “Setting Device Manager server information in Device Manager agent” on page 214 and
“Managing copy pairs” on page 215.
Parameters and requirements for the configuration definition file
This subsection explains the required information, when you create a configuration definition file that
can be used by Device Manager, or when you change a previously created configuration definition
file.
Configuration definition file parameters supported by Device Manager
Device Manager supports the following parameters:
• HORCM_MON
• HORCM_CMD
• HORCM_DEV
• HORCM_LDEV
• HORCM_INST
•
HORCM_INSTP
#
•
HORCM_CTQM
#
#
These parameters are supported by Device Manager agent version 6.2 or later. Note that when
you create or use a copy pair, even if HORCM_INSTP or HORCM_CTQM information is defined in
the configuration definition file, the Device Manager agent will operate while ignoring the
definition. The Device Manager agent does not add the HORCM_INSTP or HORCM_CTQM definitions
to the configuration definition file, nor does it add a pair group to the existing definitions. However,
when you delete a pair, any definitions of that pair group that exist in the HORCM_INSTP or
HORCM_CTQM definitions will also be deleted.
If a parameter not supported by Device Manager is used, the configuration definition file is assumed
to be invalid and the system does not execute normal processing. Even though a parameter is
supported, Device Manager might not support certain description formats. Note that the configuration
definition file is assumed to be invalid if an item is specified using an unsupported format. The following
tables show the support status of description formats:
