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

Once an instance of BCM is registered, Replication Manager loads the configuration information
associated with the BCM for the purposes of scanning the volumes as described in “About mainframe
volume discovery” on page 65.

When multiple BCM instances have overlapping configuration definition files
If you have an environment where multiple BCM instances have overlapping copy group or disk
configuration definition files, you must use Replication Manager to distribute configuration definition
files from the primary server to the secondary server.
If you do not do this, Replication Manager will recognize existing overlapping configuration definition
files as different configuration definition files. (Under normal circumstances, configuration definition
files on the secondary side should be hidden.)
Setting up Application Agent
The topics in this module describe how to set up Application Agent:
• About application discovery, page 55
• Adding an instance of Application Agent, page 56
• Setting Application Agent options, page 57
• About concealing/revealing replica volumes, page 59
• Parallel verification count and number of backup servers, page 60
• About VDI generation timeout, page 62
• Refreshing Application Agent, page 63
About application discovery
Application discovery is the process by which Replication Manager identifies the resources associated
with an application server and the backups server where the replicas are to be stored.
Once an instance of Application Agent is registered and the pair configuration (primary and secondary
volumes) set up, the discovery process proceeds and the resource information is collected or refreshed.
