HP XP7 Replication Manager Release Notes (TK981-96016, May 2014)

Fixes
The following issues were resolved in 8.0.0-00:
• An attempt to change the copy group name or path group ID might generate the RPM-03301
error message.
• For a copy pair that consists of open volumes, executing a copy-pair operation task without
specifying quick mode now succeeds, and the KAVN00455-E message and KAVN00456-E
message are no longer output.
• When Tiered Storage Manager checks whether the volume lock period or the specified time limit
for volume locks has passed, Device Manager does not unnecessarily request that Replication
Manager synchronize the configuration information, and synchronization of Replication Manager
configuration information is not executed frequently.
Important considerations
Remote copy between the HP XP7 DKC and the DKC for another storage system using
virtual ID
The following task types are not available for remote copy between the HP XP7 DKC (disk controller)
and the DKC for another storage system.
• If the P-VOL is an HP XP7 DKC:
takeover-recovery (recreate)
• If the S-VOL is an HP XP7 DKC:
create
modify file (create)—if you add a pair to an existing copy group
HP recommends that you do not delete a copy pair where the relationship between P-VOL and S-VOL
was reversed by swap operation. If you delete such a copy pair and recreate the copy pair, data
stored in the volume cannot be maintained.
Execution modes for copy pair operation tasks
If you execute a copy pair operation task without specifying “quick mode”, the execution mode that
is used for the task might be different in version 8.0.0-00 from the execution mode used in earlier
versions.
Applicable copy pair operation tasks:
• Tasks that execute paircreate and pairsplit simultaneously
• Tasks that split, resync, or restore a copy pair
In version 8.0.0-00, a copy pair operation task is executed in normal mode.
In versions earlier than 8.0.0-00, the copy pair operation mode for RAID Manager is set.
If the copy pair operation mode for RAID Manager is not set, the copy pair operation mode for the
storage system is set.
User scripts specified when executing backup commands for Application Agent or when
creating a database replica
In a configuration that contains multiple database servers and one backup server, if you simultaneously
execute backup operations or replication creation operations, and the operations specify execution
of a user script from multiple database servers, the user scripts are not executed in parallel. The user
scripts are executed in order when the backup server receives a request.
