Replication manager database
The server software includes an internal database of available resources, jobs, job instances, and
replication manager events. See About the RSM database.
The database can be exported and imported allowing you to:
• Backup and restore the database.
• Copy the database to other instances of the replication manager. This is especially useful in
remote replication environments with multiple management server.
CLUI server
The server software also includes a CLUI server application which supports several types of command
line style CLUI clients. See CLUI overview.
Host agent software
A replication manager host agent is OS-specific software that enables interactions between a host
and the replication manager server. A host that has a replication manager host agent installed is
called an enabled host. See Enabled and standard hosts.
A host agent allows you to:
• Perform replication by specifying the host and host volume name.
• Mount virtual disks on the host without rebooting the host (dynamic mount).
• Dynamically extend or shrink a host volume.
• Suspend and resume application I/O on the host.
• Launch (run) applications on the host.
• Interact with database, backup, and other applications.
• View host properties, such as: operating systems, file systems, logical volume managers, cluster
software, multipathing software and Fibre Channel HBAs.
CLUI remote client
Host agents also include a CLUI remote client that you can use to run replication manager CLUI
commands from the host's command line.
CLUI software
The replication manager includes a CLUI server and client in the server software and a CLUI remote
client in the host agent software.
