HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.3.1-00 Administrator Guide (web)

#1:
For mainframe volume copy pairs, you can only check the configuration by using the Device
Manager CLI. There are no storage system requirements for checking the copy pair configuration
by using the Device Manager CLI.
#2:
The settings specified in Continuous Access can be shared with Continuous Access Journal.
However, in Continuous Access Journal, the settings must be specified for both storage systems
used for the P-VOL and the S-VOL.
Notes on using Device Manager when RAID Manager is already managing
copy pairs
If a copy pair is already managed by RAID Manager, the copy pair can be managed by Device
Manager once Device Manager is installed.
Note the following if you are using RAID Manager to manage existing copy pairs:
• If you want to use Device Manager to control copy pairs managed by RAID Manager, the config-
uration definition file on the host that manages the P-VOL of the copy pair and the configuration
definition file on the host that manages the S-VOL of the copy pair must have the same group name
and the same pair name. If different names are specified, Device Manager cannot control that
copy pair. In addition, if you want to use a single host to manage multiple copy pairs, make sure
that these copy pairs satisfy the conditions written below. If there are copy pairs that do not satisfy
the conditions, modify the configuration definition file.
• If the version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host is 05-60 or earlier:
Each copy pair on the host must have a unique combination of the following items:
Group name
Pair name
• If the version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host is 05-70 or later:
Each copy pair on the host must have a unique combination of the following items:
Port number
Group name
Pair name
• If you want to create a copy pair by using RAID Manager or if RAID Manager is already being
used to manage copy pairs, you can use the Device Manager CLI to create a configuration
definition file.
• You cannot use Device Manager to create copy pairs from configuration definition files created
in the Device Manager CLI.
• To create copy pairs in RAID Manager from configuration definition files created in the Device
Manager CLI, you must change the MU numbers to appropriate values.
• If you have created an invalid configuration definition file by using the Device Manager, you
cannot delete the file from Device Manager. To do this, you need to delete or edit the config-
uration definition file on the host managing the copy pairs. An invalid configuration file or a
configuration file that is not used for performing copy pair operations might affect system per-
formance (for example, when adding or refreshing a storage system). Delete such configuration
files from the host that manages copy pairs.
• When you install the Device Manager agent, the server.agent.rm.location property or
the server.agent.rmxp.location property must be configured if the installation drive of
RAID Manager in a Windows environment is different from the installation drive of the Device
Manager agent.
