Acquiring the latest configuration information (configuration
refresh)
Whether you need to refresh the configuration and synchronize the configuration information of
Replication Manager and Device Manager depends on the source of the acquired information for
managing the storage system:
• When the source of the acquired information for managing the storage system is a remote Device
Manager, HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software, or an instance of
XP7 mainframe agent, the Replication Manager and the source of the acquired information is not
automatically synchronized, so you need to perform configuration refresh.
• When the source of the acquired information for managing the storage system is a local Device
Manager, Replication Manager and Device Manager configuration information is automatically
synchronized, so you need not perform configuration refresh.
To perform a configuration refresh, see “Refreshing configuration information manually for each
information source” on page 279.
