Configuring the environment settings for monitoring PPRC copy pairs
To monitor PPRC copy pairs from XP P9000 Replication Manager, you must create a PPRC copy
group definition file with BCM before you configure the environment settings for the BCM agent.
For details, see the description about generating PPRC copy pair copy group definitions in the HP
XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software User Guide.
Creating configuration file datasets
Before doing anything else, you must first create datasets for the following configuration files, which
are created in XP P9000 Replication Manager. You must then catalog the created datasets.
• Disk configuration definition file
• Copy group definition file
The following indicates the time at which each configuration file is created.
• Disk configuration definition file: When a device is scanned (for example, during a Local
Scan, NGScan, or Remote Scan).
• Copy group definition file: When a copy group is defined.
Configuration file dataset names
The following lists the naming convention for each dataset:
• Disk configuration definition file name:
prefix.DSK.SNnnnnn.DAD-ID
• Copy group definition file name:
prefix.GRP.copy-group-ID
