HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.2 User Guide

10 Managing pair life cycle

Replication Manager allows you to specify copy pair configuration definitions in open systems in

which the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or XP24000/XP20000 and in

mainframe systems where the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or

XP24000/XP20000. Replication Manager also allows you to change the copy pair status in both

open systems and mainframe systems.

You can use the pair configuration and pair life cycle management capabilities of Replication Manager

to create and manage copy pairs. You can also perform daily pair operations and volume replication

using the configured pairs.

This chapter describes tasks for defining copy pairs and performing pair operations.

About pair life cycle management

Replication Manager allows you to create or edit copy pairs (to accommodate increases in job size),

perform volume replication, and change copy pair status after error recovery.

TIP:

For mainframe systems, Replication Manager only supports the pair definition function for creating

a copy pair configuration definition. Mainframe copy pairs are not automatically created after

completion of pair configuration. Mainframe pair creation must be performed using HP StorageWorks

P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software.
