The following are the requirements for 1-Touch on an AIX:
Server
AIX 6.1 64-bit with technology level 2
or higher
(LPAR with shared fibre channel card NPIV supported)
AIX 5.3 32-bit and 64-bit with technology level 6 (or higher) and runtime library xlC.rte 8.0.0.0 or higher
Client
AIX 6.1 64-bit with technology level 2
or higher
(LPAR with shared fibre channel card NPIV supported)
AIX 5.3 32-bit and 64-bit with technology level 6 (or higher) and runtime library xlC.rte 8.0.0.0 or higher
Note that all AIX platforms support
Logical Partitions (LPAR).
Hard Drive
The 1-Touch Server requires 2 GB of disk space per client for the 1-Touch client configuration files.
Memory
1 GB RAM minimum required; 2 GB RAM recommended.
Processor
Power PC (Includes IBM System p)
Supported File system and volume manager types
AIX logical Volume Manager for Root and Non- root Volumes (LVM)
VERITAS Volume Manager 5.0 or higher for Non root Volumes (VXVM)
Journal File System (JFS) (AIX)
Enhanced Journal File System (JFS2) (AIX)
For AIX 5.3, RAW logical volume is supported for ML 10 and above
Notes
Server
The 1-Touch Server must be a dedicated AIX machine running the NIM
master server environment.
Client
For 1-Touch clients with Link Aggregation or Ether Chanel, ensure that
standard network adapter is configured for communication with NIM server.
The 1-Touch server can be in the same subnet as the client computer, or it can be in a different subnet. However, if they are in different subnets, ensure that there is no network firewall between the server and the client.
For each different subnet there should be NIM network resource defined.
This is important not only when NIM master and client are in different subnets, but also in case 1-Touch recovery is performed to a client that is in a different subnet than the NIM master and the original client.
If the network resource is not defined for the destination client subnet and selected during recovery, 1-Touch recovery will not be successful.
For more information on defining NIM network resources, refer to IBM NIM documentation.
Only active volume group will be backed up during 1-Touch backup.
This feature is not supported when bootable partitions are on the disk arrays (snapable disk).
