Checking the version of the Device Manager agent
Before you upgrade or restore the Device Manager agent, or when you want to find out which functions
are supported in the Device Manager server, execute the hdvm_info command and confirm the
version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host.
Using a configuration definition file
In Device Manager, you can use a user-created RAID Manager configuration definition file to manage
copy pairs.
Before using configuration definition file in Device Manager
Before you create a configuration definition file, refer to section “Editing a configuration definition
file” on page 214 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 223.
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” on page 206 and “Specifying settings for managing
copy pairs” on page 206.
Editing a 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.
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.
