HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Installation Guide

The values that can be specified for each variable are explained below. The values specified for
prefix and DAD-ID must be the same as the value specified for the Business Continuity Manager
agent initialization parameter PREFIX.
• Prefix: Prefix of the configuration file
Specify a string of 25 characters or fewer that consists of one string or multiple substrings
joined together by periods. Only upper-case letters and numbers can be used. Note that the
string or each substring must begin with an upper-case letter, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
• copy-group-ID
Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Upper-case letters, numbers,
and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must
begin with an upper-case letter or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (5 + prefix-length)
• nnnnn: Serial number of the scanned storage system
• DAD-ID: DAD ID Device address domain of the scanned storage system
The following values can be specified:
◦ When creating for a local Scan: Device address domain ID of the local site
◦ When creating for an NG scan: Non Gen'ed Device address domain ID
◦ When creating for a Remote Scan: Device address domain ID of the remote site
Specify a string or multiple substrings joined together by periods. Upper-case letters, numbers,
and special characters ($, #, and @) can be used. Note that the string or each substring must
begin with an upper-case letter or special character, and consist of 1 to 8 characters.
Maximum specifiable length = 44 - (13 + prefix-length)
When a disk configuration definition file or a copy group definition file is updated from XP P9000
Replication Manager, a temporary file is created. After the file is successfully updated, the temporary
file is deleted.
Do not create a dataset with the same name as that of a temporary file. The following lists the file
naming conventions for the temporary files:
Name of the temporary file for the disk configuration definition file:
prefix.TMP.SNnnnnn.DAD-ID
Name of the temporary file for the copy group definition file:
prefix.TMP.copy-group-ID
Dataset format and required disk capacity for the configuration file
For details about the dataset format and the required disk capacity, see the descriptions for the
configuration file in the HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide.
NOTE: When you estimate the required disk capacity, allow for no less than three times the disk
capacity required for each dataset, to provide enough disk capacity for backup files and temporary
files.
Setting the TCP/IP port number
Before performing this procedure, you need to reserve a port number for communicating with XP
P9000 Replication Manager.
