HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.5.0-00 User Guide (TB584-96070, July 2013)

TIP:

Note the following:

• The best practice is to configure alert settings before starting Replication Manager operations -

either during initial setup or during re-configuration. If you set alerts or edit alert settings, HP re-

commends that you perform a test before starting operation to make sure that the alerts are sent

normally. See “Testing alert settings” on page 331 for more information.

• If you use email or SNMP traps to send alerts, you can monitor the copy pair status and perform-

ance even when you are not logged in to Replication Manager.

• If you re-create a copy pair with volumes whose primary-secondary relationship is the opposite

of that of the original copy pair, the new copy pair is no longer recognized as the same copy

pair. If a copy pair included in the alert settings is re-created in this way, no alert is sent for the

copy pair. To avoid this, remove the copy pair from the alert settings, and then re-register the

copy pair.

About the Create Alert Setting Wizard

The Create Alert Setting Wizard allows you to configure alert settings to monitor the pair status or

the performance information.

You can configure the following monitoring types depending on the resource type of the monitored

target:

• Pair Status Monitoring: You can set alerts to monitor pair status when the resource type of the

monitored target is a copy pair or copy group type.

• Performance Monitoring: You can set alerts to monitor performance information when the resource

type is a copy group, pool, or journal group type.

• Copy License Usage Monitoring: You can set alerts to monitor copy license usage when the

monitored target is the copy license.

You can select an alert creation mode depending on whether you create a new alert setting or add

a resource to an existing alert setting. You can also set detailed information about the alert, such as

a monitoring condition or an action for performance monitoring.
