About the Pair Configuration Wizard

Replication Manager includes a Pair Configuration Wizard for defining pair structures and managing

the entire topology of the desired pair structure from a single window. The wizard also allows you to

manage primary and secondary devices independently and helps avoid creation of invalid

configurations.

The Pair Configuration Wizard includes the following:

1. Topological view

This view provides an intuitive graphical representation of the relationships between copy groups

and allows you to specify complex pair structures easily.

2. Volume Filters

Criteria filters such as Site, Hosts, Storage System and Logical groups as filtering attributes quickly

narrows the selection of candidate volumes.

The Pair Configuration Wizard provides graphical views for performing the following operations:

• Create a copy pair or copy group.

• Add a copy pair to an existing copy group.

• Add a new pair group to an existing copy group.

• Delete a copy pair in an existing copy group.

• Delete an existing copy group.

When the wizard finishes processing, tasks and a workflow are registered automatically. A task is

created for each copy group, and a workflow is created as a set of related tasks. When you create

or edit copy pair configuration definitions, you can specify the execution schedule for the registered

tasks and also edit or cancel registered tasks. You can also interrupt the Pair Configuration Wizard

and temporarily save the incomplete definition as a workflow. You can then restart the wizard to

continue work on the saved workflow. A temporarily saved workflow can also be used so an

application server administrator can complete a definition started by a storage system administrator.
