When multiple BCM instances have overlapping configuration definition files
If you have an HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software environment
where multiple BCM instances have overlapping copy group or disk configuration definition files, you
must take the following action before registering it with Replication Manager:
Use Replication Manager to distribute disk and copy group configuration definition files from the
primary server (BCM) to the secondary server (BCM).
Even if multiple BCM instances are registered, there is no way for Replication Manager to know the
primary-secondary relationship between these BCM instances. To define the relationship, you must
use Replication Manager to distribute configuration definition files from the primary server to the
secondary server.
If you do not do this, Replication Manager will recognize existing overlapping configuration definition
files as different configuration definition files. (Under normal circumstances, configuration definition
files on the secondary side should be hidden.)
