HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1.1 Administrator Guide (web) (TB581-96065, September 2011)

• If the host that recognizes copy pairs is a virtual machine on VMware ESX 4.x or VMware ESXi
4.x:
server.agent.rm.ignorePairStatus
CAUTION:
If you want to check the latest copy pair information by using the GUI or CLI, take either of the
following actions depending on the copy pair management method.
If local management is used: Refresh the storage systems.
If central management is used: Refresh the pair management server.
• To use an SVP as a virtual command device to manage copy pairs defined as a device group:
When P-VOLs and S-VOLs are assigned to the management server, the following property must
be set:
server.agent.rm.ignorePairStatus
To check the latest copy pair information via the GUI or CLI, refresh the storage systems.
• If copy pairs are managed that have been defined by using a device group or a virtual command
device
Because responses to RAID Manager commands take more time than when managing copy pairs
in a configuration using physical command devices, processing by the Device Manager agent
might terminate in an error. We recommend that you change the following property values in
advance:
• The server.agent.rm.moduleTimeOut property of the Device Manager agent
Set the value to 1800 or greater.
• The agent.rm.TimeOut property of the Device Manager agent
Set the value to 1800 or greater.
• The hdvmagtif.MaxPollingCount property of the Replication Manager server
Set the value to 100.
• The hdvmagtif.PollingInterval property of the Replication Manager server
Set the value to 60 or greater.
• If you want to unify the coding format of pair volume information into the HORCM_DEV or HOR-
CM_LDEV format when creating pairs:
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm
• If you want to exclude a volume pair that is already managed by RAID Manager from Device
Manager operations
server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance
• If you want to optimize a user-created RAID Manager configuration definition file so that it can
be used in Device Manager
server.agent.rm.optimization.userHorcmFile
In addition, to use Replication Manager to manage copy pairs, you need to specify the properties
below. If the properties are not set to appropriate values, the memory heap size might be insufficient
or a timeout might occur during the Replication Manager processing.
• agent.rm.TimeOut property in the agent.properties file
