HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.4.0-00 Release Notes (TB584-96062, December 2012)

1. Multiple tasks for the same copy pair are executed simultaneously.
2. The tasks include a task that changes the copy pair status.
2
Recovery procedure
For tasks that froze in the Executing status:
• Restart the XP P9000 Command View AE Suite Common Component service to reset the tasks to
the Failure status.
• Execute tasks again that you need to complete so that they are not executed simultaneously.
For tasks that generated an error:
• Execute tasks again that you need to complete after editing the failed tasks so that they are not
executed simultaneously.
1
Each task internally completes successfully or unsuccessfully, depending on the order of the execution.
2
Multiple tasks that set the copy pair status do not cause this behavior because one of the tasks reserves
the copy pair.
Mainframe volume information of a remote copy pair
Mainframe volume information displayed in the LDEV list of the Storage System view might become
incorrect if the following conditions are met.
Conditions
1. Business Continuity Manager manages a remote copy pair.

by a local Device Manager and the other storage system is not managed by any Device Manager
that is registered as an information source of Replication Manager.
3. The remote copy pair in the first condition is manipulated.
Recovery procedure
• Update the information of both storage systems in the remote copy pair.
Temporary solution
Register all storage systems in a remote copy pair configuration managed by Business Continuity
Manager to Device Managers and register those Device Managers to Replication Manager as
information sources.

Conditions
1. Business Continuity Manager is registered in Replication Manager as an information source.
2. The Business Continuity Manager in the first condition manages a volume of a storage system
that is managed by a local Device Manager.
