What best shall I read to understand about RAID manager. Are there any documents explaining various commands of RAID pairdisplay, pairevtwait, pairsync and also the raid technology configuration..<BR />I have XP1024 connected to clustered nodes. I have to understand the systems thoroughly.<BR />Please reply <BR /><BR />Thanks and regards<BR />Prashant Wed, 07 Jul 2004 12:20:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/raid-manager/m-p/3325541#M12811 Prashant Zanwar_4 2004-07-07T12:20:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/raid-manager/m-p/3325542#M12812 Some notes:<BR /><BR />What is RAID Manager XP?<BR /><BR />- RAID Manager XP is host-based software package that includes the CCI (Command control interface).<BR />- RAID Manager XP enables you to initiate BC and CA commands from UNIX based host systems.<BR />- The core of RAID manager is the instance which needs to be configured and operational before any of the commands will operate.<BR />- Two instances are required to manage a specific pair. The instances can run on the same hosts or different hosts.<BR />- One instance will manage the P-Vol and one will manage S-Vol.<BR /><BR />- For multiple pairs a single instance can handle volumes from multiple pairs.<BR /><BR />- To create, suspend or delete pairs the instances will communicate and cooperate.<BR />Instances communicate with each other using UDP sockets.<BR /><BR />- For each pair, the RAID manager instance configuration file will contain IP address and port number of the other instance.<BR />Instances communicate with the XP via a command device. This is a special volume that accepts BC or CA control operations.<BR /><BR />Installation and Configuration<BR /><BR />1. Create a command device on the XP using LUN Manager.<BR />2. Install RAID Manager software on the host(s).<BR />3. Add RAID Manager instance to the service file(s).<BR />4. Create instance configuration files â  horcm??.conf.<BR />- Start instances.<BR />- Set RAID Manager environment variables<BR />5. BC or CA? Set the parameter HORCC_MRCF<BR />6. Which instance will process commands? Set the parameter HORCMINST <BR />7. Issue commands - interactively or in batch mode.<BR /><BR />Refer the guide (or post issue in this forum):<BR /><BR /><A href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/lpg28385/lpg28385.pdf" target="_blank">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/lpg28385/lpg28385.pdf</A><BR /> Thu, 08 Jul 2004 00:51:33 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/raid-manager/m-p/3325542#M12812 Sanjay Kumar Suri 2004-07-08T00:51:33Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/raid-manager/m-p/3325543#M12813 Hi, <BR /><BR />I really appreciate this help. <BR />Thanks a lot. <BR /><BR />Prashant Mon, 12 Jul 2004 20:07:41 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/raid-manager/m-p/3325543#M12813 Prashant Zanwar_4 2004-07-12T20:07:41Z
