HP StorageWorks XP Replication Monitor software installation and configuration guide (T1784-96008, November 2006)

Installing XP Replication Monitor software 25
• The TCP/IP protocol is running.
• Static IP addresses have been set up.
• If volumes are in copy pair structures configured with the volume replication functions of the storage
subsystem (such as Business Copy XP, Continuous Access XP Synchronous, Snapshot XP, or Continuous
Access XP Journal), copy pairs must be the management targets of Device Manager or Business Continuity
Manager. For details about requirements for managing copy pairs with Device Manager, see the manual
HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition software Device Manager server installation and
configuration guide. For details about requirements for managing copy pairs with Business Continuity
Manager.
• In Windows, a resolution of SVGA (800 x 600) or greater is required.

Device Manager agent
1
1
To use the XP Replication Monitor agent or use XP Replication Monitor software to check host-related
information, the Device Manager agent must be installed. For details about the Device Manager agent
installation, see the manual HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition software Device Manager
agent installation and configuration guide.
2
Runs in the 32-bit emulation mode.
3
Only the x86 and IPF architectures are supported.
To link the Device Manager agent with XP Replication Monitor software, all of the following conditions must be
satisfied:
• The Device Manager agent must be of Device Manager 3.5 or later.
If you want to use the XP Replication Monitor agent, you must install the Device Manager agent of Device
Manager 5.0, 5.1, or 5.5.
• The Device Manager agent version is compatible with the Device Manager server, which is a prerequisite
of XP Replication Monitor software.
If the Device Manager agent version is earlier than the Device Manager server version, some of the XP
Replication Monitor software functions cannot be used. For details, see the manual HP StorageWorks
Command View XP Advanced Edition software Device Manager server installation and configuration guide.
2-2-3-2 Items to be checked for an open system host
When address conversion occurs between sites, special steps are needed. In XP Replication Monitor software, the
XP Replication Monitor server on the primary site communicates with agents at other sites. If private addresses or
address conversion, such as NAT (Network Address Translation), is used, the server may not be correctly
connected to the agent.
