About refreshing copy pair status
In open systems, copy pair statuses are acquired using Device Manager agents. If Device Manager
servers installed at multiple sites are used as information sources, the copy pair statuses are acquired
using their Device Manager agents.
TIP:
If copy pairs have been defined using storage system operation management software such as XP7
Remote Web Console, there is no configuration definition file (because there are copy pairs that are
not managed by pair management servers). In this case, you should execute the Device Manager
refresh function from Replication Manager as described in “Acquiring the latest configuration
information (configuration refresh)” on page 378.
Performance-related information, copy progress, and the copy pair state for the secondary volume
cannot be acquired. For details on the Device Manager refresh function, see the HP XP7 Command
View Advanced Edition Help or HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition CLI Reference Guide. To
view the flow of data in open systems, see “Refreshing copy pair statuses data flow (open
systems)” on page 268.
In mainframe systems, the copy pair statuses are acquired from the instances of HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software or XP7 mainframe agent registered as information
sources. To view the flow of data in mainframe systems, see “Refreshing copy pair statuses data flow
(mainframe systems)” on page 269.
