system configurations.
Replication Manager includes XP7 Command View AE Common Component,
a collection of functions shared by XP7 Command View AE products. Common

products and is upgraded to the latest version during installation.
Replication Manager
Used to achieve integrated management of disk resources and for configuring
storage system hardware. You can run and manage a system consisting of
multiple storage systems.
An instance of Device Manager server running on the same management server
as Replication Manager is called an instance of "local Device Manager."
Instances of Device Manager running on the a management server different
from the management server on which Replication Manager is running are called
instances of "remote Device Manager."
Note that even when the instance of Device Manager server is running on a
primary site, if Replication Manager is running on a different management
server, the instance of Device Manager server on the primary site is still called
"remote Device Manager."
For details about Device Manager server, see the HP XP7 Command View
Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
Device Manager server
Used to control copy group configurations located on storage systems from a
host.
Via BCM Agent, Replication Manager monitors and performs copy pair
operations on storage systems managed by HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager.
For details about HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager, see the HP XP7 Business
Continuity Manager User Guide.
Note: Pair management using Replication Manager requires HP XP7 Business
Continuity Manager 6.2 or later - earlier releases only support data collection.
If you manage copy pairs using the HyperSwap function, or define a consistency
group consisting of one copy group and another created using RAID Manager,
the following hardware/software versions are required:
• HP XP7: v8.0.0 or later
• HP P9500: v6.1.1 or later
