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 use XP RAID Manager to create a copy pair or are already using XP RAID
Manager to manage copy pairs, you can create a configuration definition file by using the
Create Pair wizard of Device Manager web client. To create a configuration definition file by
using web client, you need to stop HBase Storage Mgmt Common Service, and then change
the value of the client.outputhorcmfunction.enabled property in the
client.properties file to true. For details about this property, see section
A-7-3.
○ You cannot create a copy pair from the Device Manager server by using a configuration
definition file created using web client.
○ If you create an invalid configuration definition file by using web client, you need to delete
or edit the file on the host that manages copy pairs because the Device Manager server
cannot be used to delete configuration definition files. An invalid configuration file or a
configuration file that is not used for performing copy pair operations might affect system
performance (for example, when adding or refreshing a storage subsystem). Delete such
configuration files from the host that manages copy pairs.
NOTE:
•
In the step performed in the Define Pair(s) dialog box, you do not need to specify the fence level and
copy pace. Even if you specify these items, they are not applied to the configuration definition file.
• In the View Pair Information dialog box, you can view the HORCM instance number, pair group name,
and pair name of the created configuration definition file.
• For an XP Business Copy Software copy pair and an XP Snapshot copy pair, the Device Manager server
sets 0 as the MU number in the configuration definition file. For XP Continuous Access Software, the MU
number is not set because this number is not necessary. The Device Manager server also sets 1 as the
MU number in the configuration definition file for XP Continuous Access Journal copy pairs. When you
use a configuration definition file, created by the Device Manager server, to create a copy pair, make sure
that you change these values into appropriate values.
• When you install the Device Manager agent, the Device Manager agent properties must be
configured if the installation drive of XP RAID Manager in Windows is different from the
installation drive of the Device Manager agent. For details about the Device Manager agent
properties to be configured, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition
software Device Manager agent administrator guide.
To avoid malfunctions and to shorten the processing time of Device Manager, exclude (from
Device Manager operations) copy pairs that you do not plan to control from Device Manager.
To do this :
i. Check the number of the XP RAID Manager HORCM instance that is managing the
copy pair.
ii. In the following property in the Device Manager agent property file, enter the HORCM
instances that you want to exclude from Device Manager operations. If you enter
multiple HORCM instances, separate them by a comma:
Property file name: server.properties
