HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Windows® Systems Installation 52
NOTE: Do not stop the Common Component services while another Command View XP AE Suite program
is running.
5. On the executing node, start HiRDB: <common component installation
folder>\bin\hcmdsdbsrv /start
6. On the executing node, delete or empty the <database target folder>, then back up the
database contents: <common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdbmove
/import /datapath <database target folder>
CAUTION: Be sure to specify the absolute path for the <database target folder>.
7. On both the executing and standby nodes, use a text editor to create a cluster configuration file
for each node, and specify the following items in each file:
• mode: Specify online for the executing node, and standby for the standby node.
• virtualhost: Specify the logical host name.
• onlinehost: Specify the host name of the executing node.
• standbyhost: Specify the host name of the standby node.
CAUTION: You cannot specify an IP address for virtualhost, onlinehost, or standbyhost. Confirm that the IP
address can be resolved from the host name.
The following example shows sample entries in a cluster configuration file:
–mode = online
–virtualhost = hcmdserver
–onlinehost = hcmdserver_1
–standbyhost = hcmdserver_2
8. Save the created file as cluster.conf in <common component installation
folder>\conf.
9. Re-create the database system in the shared disk on the executing node: <common
component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdbremake /cluster /databasepath
<database target folder>
CAUTION: The file name for <database target folder> must be no more than 63 bytes, and you must
specify an absolute path to it.
CAUTION: On the shared disk, deploy the folder in which the database is to be recreated.
CAUTION: When this command is executed, the port designated for HiRDB to use returns to the default
(23032). If you use another port for HiRDB, you must reset the port after this operation.
IMPORTANT: You must specify an absolute path to the target directory. Do not use a path delimiter (\) at the
end of the target directory name, or you will get a command error. If this occurs, remove the path delimiter
and re-execute the command.
NOTE: This operation restarts Common Component on the executing node.
10. Back up the database (see section 3-7-1 for instructions).
11. Register the database contents that were previously backed up: <common component
installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdbmove /import /datapath <database target
folder>
12. On the standby node, change the setting so that the database on the shared disk is to be used:
<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdbremake /cluster
/databasepath <database target folder>
