• is installed in a location other than the default location
• The host OS is Windows, and the installation drive is different from the Device Manager agent
installation drive
For Windows, you cannot specify \ as a delimiter. Use \\ or / instead.
Default for Windows: drive-where-Device-Manager-agent-is-installed/HORCM
Default for UNIX: /HORCM
server.agent.rm.optimization.userHorcmFile
Specify whether to optimize the user-created configuration definition files. To optimize the file, specify
true. If you do this, the file is updated so that Device Manager can use it. Also, when the Device
Manager agent starts or when the configuration definition file is updated by pair operations, the
following optimizations are performed:
• The unit ID, LDEV number, and serial number of a command device are added as comments.
• If the above command device becomes unavailable due to, for example, a change to the volume
name, the configuration definition file information is updated so that the command device can be
used.
• If the host is connected to multiple command devices in a storage system and only some of those
command devices are specified, the rest of the command devices are specified as reserved com-
mand devices.
• Command devices that are not being used are deleted.
• The CU and LDEV numbers of a command device and pair volume are added as a comment in
the format cu:ldev.
• If there are multiple definitions for a command device of the same storage system in an SLPR en-
vironment, rearrange the order of the command device definitions.
Default: false
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm
Specify which format should be used to specify pair volume information in the configuration definition
file when creating a pair: HORCM_DEV format or HORCM_LDEV format. If you want to unify the format
into the HORCM_DEV format, specify HORCM_DEV. If you want to unify the format into the HORCM_LDEV
format, specify HORCM_LDEV. We recommend that you use the HORCM_LDEV format.
The Device Manager agent decides which format should be used in the configuration definition file
when creating a pair according to the following conditions:
• Which format is used in the existing configuration definition file: HORCM_DEV format or HOR-
CM_LDEV format.
• A pair is created for a new copy group or existing copy group.
Table 136 lists the conditions that the Device Manager agent uses to decide whether to apply the
HORCM_DEV or the HORCM_LDEV format.
CAUTION:
Do not specify HORCM_LDEV in an environment where 01-17-03/04 or later is not installed. If you
do this, the message An attempt to create a pair has failed. Error detail, host
"host-name" : "error-detail" is displayed, and the attempt to create pairs fails.
