HP StorageWorks P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.1.1 Configuration Guide (TB584-96029, September 2011)

For a copy pair defined by the storage system (such as Remote Web Console ), the status is ac-
quired from Device Manager server because the P9000 RAID Manager configuration definition
file is not available.
Acquiring performance information
Replication Manager issues a request to Device Manager Agent to acquire performance inform-
ation (such as the sidefile usage rate, pool volume usage rate, and write delay time (C/T delta)).
In turn, Device Manager Agent uses P9000 RAID Manager to obtain the data from the storage
system.
Creating and deleting copy pairs and changing copy pair statuses
Replication Manager issues a request to Device Manager Agent to create and delete copy pairs
or to change the status of copy pairs. The Device Manager Agent uses P9000 RAID Manager to
perform the operations on the storage system.

Continuity Manager from Replication Manager are handled by BCM Agent (which resides on the
same host as BCM).
Acquiring and deleting copy pair configuration information
Replication Manager issues a request to HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager
to acquire or delete copy pairs. BCM performs the operations on the storage system.
