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

Installing XP Replication Monitor software 26
To use XP Replication Monitor software with private or converted addresses, use the following method so that the
IP address of the host on which the agent is installed can be determined from the host name:
• Define the name and IP address of the host on which the agent is installed in the hosts file of the
management server.
2-2-3-3 Prerequisite conditions for a mainframe host
Table 2-4 shows the prerequisite conditions for a mainframe host. Ensure that the host satisfies these conditions.
Table 2-4 Prerequisite conditions for a mainframe host
OS Prerequisite program
Same as Business Continuity Manager • Business Continuity Manager - R5.0
NOTE: For details about Business Continuity Manager installation and setup, see the manual Hitachi Business
Continuity Manager Installation Guide.
2-2-4 Preparing the pair management server (for an open system)
The pair management server must first be prepared in this section.
2-2-4-1 Prerequisite conditions
The prerequisite conditions for the pair management server are the same as those for an open system host, except
for the following:
The prerequisite conditions unique to the pair management server are explained below.
• The Device Manager agent must be installed as a prerequisite program.
The installation of the Device Manager agent is optional for a host, but it is required for the pair
management server.
• RAID Manager XP must be installed as a prerequisite program.
• When you install the XP Replication Monitor agent on the pair management server, make sure that the OS
of the pair management server is supported because the OSs that the Device Manager agent and the XP
Replication Monitor agent support are different.
For the prerequisite conditions for an open system host, see section
2-2-3-1 .
2-2-4-2 Items to be checked
In the configuration definition of the pair being used by RAID Manager XP on the pair management server,
ensure that the copy group of the configuration definition file matches the consistency group (the group defined to
maintain consistency in the updating sequence of asynchronous copying operations among multiple volumes) of
the actual storage subsystem. If these two groups do not match each other, correct operation of XP Replication
Monitor software cannot be guaranteed.
2-2-5 Preparing information required for installation
When installing the XP Replication Monitor server, you must enter the following types of information. Ensure that
this information is correctly entered.
