HP XP7 Replication Manager Configuration Guide (TK981-96012, May 2014)

5. The following BCM setup operations need to be performed:
• Identify DADIDs and prefixes used by Replication Manager and specify them as initialization
parameters for BCM Agent
• Set up route lists and command devices to achieve either of the following:
(a) To retrieve or monitor C/T Delta with Replication Manager / BCM
(b) To discover volumes or perform pair operation on remote DKCs using local instances of
BCM (when no BCM exists on the secondary site)
• For the MODE initialization parameter of BCM Agent, specify EDIT (the initial value is MON-
ITOR). This allows the management of copy groups from Replication Manager. (If a function
that updates a definition or changes a status is used when the startup mode is MONITOR,
an YKY727E error occurs in BCM Agent.)
• The LOCK initialization parameter can also be set to manage conflicts between operations
performed by Replication Manager and HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager.
NOTE:
If you want to use an IPv6 connection or HTTPS (SSL) communication between RepMgr and
BCM, you must set up the IBM HTTP Server (IHS).
6. Ensure that all of the conditions below are satisfied:
• The requirements (microcode and system configuration) of the storage system volume replication
functionality (such as Business Copy or Continuous Access) are satisfied. For details about
the requirements and the configuration procedures, see the storage system documentation for
the applicable storage system model.
• The storage systems to which the primary and secondary volumes belong are registered as
management targets of Device Manager, and the applicable Device Manager server is re-
gistered as a Replication Manager information source.
• The primary and secondary volumes are recognized individually from the hosts.
• The serial numbers for all storage systems managed by Device Manager are unique.
For complete information, see the HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager Installation Guide and the
HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager User Guide, which include respective chapters on setting up
and using the BCM with Replication Manager.
For XP7 mainframe agent, refer to the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Mainframe Agent
Installation and Configuration Guide.
Application replica environment
To configure the required infrastructure for Replication Manager for application (database) replica
operations:
1. Install HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition on the management server.
For details, see the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Installation Guide.
2. Install RAID Manager on the pair management servers.
For details, see the relevant RAID Manager manual.
3. Install Device Manager Agents on the pair management servers.
For details about how to install and set up Device Manager Agents, see the HP XP7 Command
View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
