HP StorageWorks P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.1.1 Configuration Guide (TB584-96029, September 2011)

NOTE:
If you want to use an IPv6 connection or HTTPS (SSL) communication between RepMgr and BCM, you
must set up the IBM HTTP Server (IHS).
For HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager requirements, see the HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Installation Guide. For the requirements for P9000 mainframe
agent, see the HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Mainframe Agent
Installation and Configuration Guide.
Restrictions on using HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager 6.6.1 or later
The following operations are not supported if you are using BCM 6.6.1 or later:
• Operations in which a local scan is first performed by BCM and then by Replication Manager.
• Operations in which Replication Manager distributes disk configuration definitions files to a host
where BCM has performed a local scan.
When either of these operations ate performed, Replication Manager displays an error (RPM-005939).
In either case, you must use BCM to edit the disk configuration definition files (instead of Replication
Manager).
