names. If they cannot determine each other's IP address, an error might occur during copy pair
creation.
• In the hosts file on the management servers or pair management servers, define the IP addresses
and host names of the pair management servers to be connected.
• Use a DNS server.
Functional limitations when software versions do not match
The version numbers of P9000 Command View AE suite products are synchronized to ensure feature
compatibility. For example, the 6.4 versions of Replication Manager and Device Manager support
the same feature set (including, for example, HORC Takeover support).
In an environment where the P9000 Command View AE suite product versions are mixed, support is
limited to the feature set of the earlier version. For example, although Application Agent version 6.3
can be used with Replication Manager 6.4, version 6.3 does not include SQL Server support.
For best results, ensure that the version numbers of installed P9000 Command View AE suite products
are synchronized.
