About copy groups defined in storage
Copy group information can be defined in a storage system for HP StorageWorks P9500 storage
systems. Operations on such copy groups are performed through the Service Processor (SVP) only
and cannot be changed from Replication Manager.
Replication Manager detects copy groups defined in storage and displays them along with copy
groups defined in HORCM files in the Copy Groups tab of the host-name subwindow.
NOTE:
For copy groups defined in storage, an empty box is displayed in Replication Manager for server
and pair configuration file information as follows.
Server and Config File (Primary and Secondary) in the following windows:
• Copy Groups - copy-type-name dialog box
• host-name subwindow (open systems)
• copy-group-name subwindow (open systems) (checking in the hosts view)
Pair Management Server and Prefix / Config File in the Edit My Copy Groups dialog box.
Copy group information is acquired using SVPs using the instance of Device Manager agent and
P9000 RAID Manager on the management server. See “Setting up an SVP as a virtual command
device ” on page 243 for more information.
