HP XP7 Replication Manager User Guide (TK981-96013, May 2014)

NOTE:
As of Replication Manager 7.1.1, mainframe THP volumes are supported for the HP P9500.
As of Replication Manager 8.0.0, mainframe THP volumes are supported for the HP XP7 platform.
Replication Manager allows you to specify pools when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• An open system is being used.
• The storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, XP24000/XP20000, HP P9500, or HP
XP7.
• A license has been registered for the copy type being used (Snapshot/Fast Snap).
For a volume to be used as a pool volume, the volume must meet the applicable requirements for the
storage system type. For information on volume requirements for storage system types, see “Storage
system types and volume requirements (pools)” on page 114.
For each pool, you can specify the threshold value for pool usage to determine when the status changes
to the warning status. For more information, see “Pool usage threshold values” on page 296.
