information is collected from the Business Continuity Manager.
3-4-3 Setting a link to an information source (Device Manager) by using the
hcmdslink command
To call an information source (a Device Manager server) from the web client, you must set a link to the
information source (URL of the information source server) in the dialog box that appears when you select Go and
then Links from the global tasks bar area. You can use the hcmdslink command to set up this link.
The following shows an example of using the hcmdslink command when the managed server is running a
Windows OS:
hcmdslink /add /file C:\SampleLink.txt /user system /pass manager
The hcmdslink command specifies the link target using the add and file options. The file option specifies a
text file that contains settings, such as the name of the link destination program, its URL, and the name to display
in the dialog box. The name of the text file in this example is SampleLink.txt.
The following shows an example of the text file's contents:
@TOOL-LINK
@NAME SampleApp
@URL http://SampleApp/index.html
@DISPLAYNAME SampleApplication
@DISPLAYORDER 10
@ICONURL http://SampleApp/graphic/icon.gif
@TOOL-END
This example specifies that the link destination program appears with the name SampleApplication in the
dialog box, and that an icon with the image name provided by @ICONURL is to be set next to the link.
For details about the hcmdslink command, see the manual HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced
Edition software Device Manager server installation and configuration guide.
3-5 Setting up the refresh function
To refresh means to update the XP Replication Monitor database with the latest status information. The database
stores copy pair configuration information and information related to copy pair status that is obtained from
Device Manager servers, Business Continuity Managers, and agents. The process of obtaining information from
an information source or agent is called information collection.
You can set the refresh function to be performed automatically at a set interval or manually by the user. If you use
automatic refreshing, you must also specify the information collection interval.
For collecting configuration information
You can set the collection interval and the collection start time for each information source.
For collecting information related to copy pair status
You can set the collection interval.
• For Device Manager servers, you can set a collection interval for each pair management server and
each information source.
• For Business Continuity Managers, you can set a collection interval for each information source.
Table 3-2 shows the units that the collection interval can be set for and their relationship to the copy pairs that are
targeted.
