HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Setup for Managing Copy Pairs 78
• After the disk array has been configured as required, the disk array must be refreshed.
• The disk array serial numbers managed by Device Manager must all be unique. In the case of
Continuous Access XP, remote disk arrays that are not managed by Device Manager must also
have unique serial numbers.
CAUTION: You can use the XP512/XP48 Remote Console, the XP12000/XP10000 and XP1024/XP128
Remote Web Console, the SVP or RAID Manager XP to create or manage a copy pair without using RAID
Manager XP. However, you cannot change the status of or delete such copy pairs from Device Manager,
because there is not a configuration definition file for operating such a copy pair with RAID Manager XP. If
you have an existing copy pair that was not created using RAID Manager XP, first release the copy pair
(using the same tool that created it) then use Device Manager to recreate the volume pairs.
