HP XP7 Replication Manager 8.0.0-01 Release Notes

Replacing secondary volumes of Continuous Access Synchronous or Continuous Access

Journal in a 3DC multi-target configuration (open systems)

To replace all the secondary volumes included in a Continuous Access Synchronous or XP7 Continuous

Access Journal copy pair, launch the Pair Configuration Wizard more than once to replace the

secondary volumes using the following procedure:

1. Generate and execute the replacement tasks to replace half of the secondary volumes of the

Continuous Access Synchronous or XP7 Continuous Access Journal copy pair.

2. Generate and execute the replacement tasks for the other half of the secondary volumes not

replaced in step 1.

If you use Pair Configuration Wizard only once to generate and execute the replacement tasks for all

of the secondary volumes in the Continuous Access Synchronous or XP7 Continuous Access Journal

copy pair, task execution might not succeed.

Site filter conditions in Pair Configuration Wizard

The Site and Storage System drop-down lists are empty and you cannot select candidate volumes if

all of the following conditions are met.

Conditions

1. In Shared Views, you create a site and then register a storage system in the site.

2. In the 2. Pair Association page of the Pair Configuration Wizard, you perform the following

operations in the following order:

a. You create a remote copy pair group.

b. In the Volume Type drop-down list, you select a secondary volume.

c. In the Site drop-down list, you select a site that contains an invalid storage system. The storage

system is invalid because it cannot be used as a secondary volume for the specified

combination of primary volume and copy type. For example, the license for the selected copy

type is not registered.

Recovery procedure

On the Criteria tab of the Candidate List pane, perform these steps:

1. Click the Clear button to clear the filter condition.

2. Specify the filter conditions for the candidate volume you want to select.

Adding command devices

When using the Add Command Devices Wizard, even though you cannot specify a pair volume as

a command device, the Candidate Devices screen might show primary volumes of Snapshot copy

pairs that are configured as V-VOLs without LUNs. If you select such a volume and attempt to add a

command device, an error occurs and the operation does not complete.

Executing multiple tasks for the same copy pair

Some tasks might remain in the Executing status in the GUI

or generate the RPM-00506,

KAVN00454-E, or KAVN00456-E error, depending on the types and combinations of the tasks.

Conditions

This behavior might occur when both of the following conditions are met:

1. Multiple tasks for the same copy pair are executed simultaneously.

2. The tasks include a task that changes the copy pair status.

Recovery procedure

For tasks that froze in the Executing status:
