SMISA ZDB for EVA in HP-UX LVM Mirroring Configuration
New omnirc Variable
Chapter 1 13
New omnirc Variable
SMISA with LVM mirroring functionality introduces support for a new environment variable
that can be set in the file <Data Protector Home>\.omnirc on the application host. Using
this variable, you can customize which Physical Volume Group should be used in replication.
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG
This variable defines which Physical Volume Group you want to select for BC pair replication
for a volume group in the application host to which one or more backup objects belong.
The format is as follows:
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG=<VGNAME1:PVG_NAME>;<VGNAME2:PVG_NAME>;…
For example, if three volume groups are participating in backup in your environment, you can
define the following in your application host configuration file:
ZDB_LVM_PREFERRED_PVG=/dev/vg01:PVG-0;/dev/vgAppln1:PVG-1;/dev/vgAppln2:PVG-1
In this case, when the backup objects are from the volume group /dev/vg01, SMISA applies
the mirror selection rules (see page 8) and will prefer PVG-0 over any other valid Physical
Volume Groups that are defined for it.
