Install re
plication licenses
When you pu
rchase HP Continuous Access EVA, you receive a replication license for each array (local
and remote) in a remote replication relationship. Replication licenses are based on the amount (in
TB) of rep licated data on each array. For license offerings, see the product Quickspecs on the HP
Continuous Access EVA web site. License kits include instructions for retrieving electronic license keys
and for installing the keys in HP Command View EVA. Entering the keys on the HP Command View EVA
license page activates remote replication features on spe cified arrays.
Follow the instructions provided in the license kit for retrieving electronic license keys from the HP License
Key Renewal web site and for installing the keys using HP Command View EVA. License keys arrive in
e-mail within 48 hours after you submit the credentials from the license kit. Install the license keys on each
active
and standby management server at local and remote sites.
Install optional replication manager
For additional replication capabilities, install HP Stora geWorks Replication Solutions Manager on
local and remote management servers. The unique features of this software are shown in Table 2.
For installation requirements and instructions, see HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager
installation guide.
Install interswitch links
An in
terswitch link is a connection between two s witches. For remote replication, install interswitch links
between the local and remote sites.
Figure 6 shows a t ypical remote replication setup with two arrays (each represented by two controllers),
oneatalocalsiteandtheotherataremotesite.Onecontrollerateachsiteisconnectedtoeachfabric

setup at each site is a standard EVA installation.
