1-6-5 HP SIM (HP Systems Insight Manager)
HP SIM (HP Systems Insight Manager) is integrated management software for server products and
storage products. Linking HP SIM with Device Manager enables you to use XP Command View AE
Suite products from HP SIM without logging in again.
Table 1-24 lists the versions of HP SIM supported by Device Manager.

Windows HP SIM5.0 with SP4 or later
HP-UX HP SIM5.0 with Update1 or later
Linux HP SIM5.0 with Update1 or later
1-7 System requirement for managing copy pairs
In Device Manager, you can manage copy pairs by using either of the following methods:
Local management
This method manages copy pairs for each host individually.
Central management
This method centrally manages copy pairs by using one host (the pair management server).
The following sections describe the requirements for Device Manager to manage copy pairs.
1-7-1 Device Manager server requirements for managing
copy pairs
This section describes the requirements for the Device Manager server to manage copy pairs.
• The disk arrays that are candidates for P-VOL or S-VOL must be managed by a single Device
Manager server.
• The hosts that manage copy pairs must have been added to the Device Manager server.
1-7-2 Host requirements for managing copy pairs
This section describes the host requirements for performing copy pair operations when local
management is used and when central management is used If you have not yet created a copy pair,
in the following explanation you must read P-VOL as P-VOL candidate and S-VOL as S-VOL
candidate.
CAUTION: If you use the Remote Console for XP512/XP48, XP Remote Web Console (for
XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, and XP1024/XP128), SVP, or XP RAID
Manager library, you can create or manage a copy pair without using XP RAID Manager.
However, a copy pair created by such tools cannot be controlled from Device Manager (for
example, you cannot delete the copy pair or change its status), because there is no configuration
definition file that is controlled by XP RAID Manager to perform such copy pair operations. If you
have an existing copy pair that was not created using XP RAID Manager, first release the copy
pair (using the same tool that created it), and then use Device Manager to recreate the volume
pairs. You can also manually create a configuration definition file to control the existing copy pairs.
