DescriptionSoftware
Used to centrally manage the replication of storage system volumes in large-scale
system configurations.
Replication Manager includes P9000 Command View AE Common Component,
a collection of functions that are shared by P9000 Command View AE suite
products. Common Component is installed as a component of the P9000
Command View AE suite server products and is upgraded with the latest version
during installation.
Replication Manager
Used for integrated management of disk resources and for configuring storage
system hardware. You can run and manage a system that consists of multiple
storage systems.
Replication Manager performs copy pair operations and other operations on
volumes of storage systems that are managed by Device Manager server. For
details about this server, see the HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View
Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
Device Manager server
Device Manager agents instruct RAID Manager to perform copy pair operations
in response to requests from Replication Manager and provide Device Manager
server with host information. For details about these agents, see the HP Storage-
Works P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator
Guide.
Device Manager agent
Software that controls volume replication functions (such as Continuous Access
or Business Copy), by issuing commands from a host to storage systems.
Replication Manager uses the RAID Manager configuration definition file to
change a copy pair configuration and acquire configuration information. For
details, see the manual for the corresponding version of RAID Manager.
Replication Manager uses the configuration definition file via Device Manager
Agent. For details, refer to the HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View
Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
