HP OpenView Storage Mirroring Getting Started (359447-001, May 2004)

Establishing a Connection

You have three options for establishing a connection:

! Using the automated Connection Wizard in the Management

Console

! Using the Connection Manager in the Management Console

! Using the Text Client

Connection Wizard connection

The first time you start the Storage Mirroring Management

Console, the Welcome screen leads you to the Storage Mirroring

Connection Wizard. The Connection Wizard will guide you

through the essential steps necessary to establish a basic

connection. In the Connection Wizard, you specify:

! Source—The machine containing the data to protect. This is

your production server.

! Target—The machine to receive the data from the source.

This is your backup server.

! Replication Set—The data to be protected.

! Target Location—The location on the target machine to store

the data.

! Advanced Options—The Connection Wizard allows you to

open the Connection Manager to set advanced options.

option to be available, you must have a source

or target highlighted in the left pane of the

Management Console. You do not need to be

logged on to the machine. If the Storage

Mirroring Servers root is highlighted, the

Connection Wizard option will not be

available.

At any time while using the Connection Wizard,

Back to return to previous screens and
