HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager User Guide (T3680-96089, October 2012)

• Source and destination DR groups (from different DR group pairs) can be members of the
same managed set.
• The source and destination DR group in a DR group pair cannot be members of the same
managed set.
• If you plan to use DR group managed sets for failover operations, ensure the managed sets
are controlled by the same management server at the time of failover.
Managed sets of virtual disks (or containers)
A managed set of the type virtual disks can contain two types of resources, either virtual disks or
virtual disk containers. The distinction between disks and containers is important when using
managed sets. See Virtual disks overview.
Managed sets of virtual disks (and containers) require careful planning. Consider the following
guidelines.
General guidelines
• In general, do not include virtual disks and containers in the same managed set. Doing so
can result in errors when certain actions are applied to the set. For example, applying a
replication action to a managed set that includes containers will result in errors because
containers cannot be replicated.
• A managed set of virtual disks can include disks (or containers) from more than one storage
system.
• Ensure that you are aware of the current content of managed sets. When some GUI actions,
job commands, or CLUI commands are applied to a managed set, the members are converted
from virtual disks (storage volumes) to containers or from containers to a virtual disks.
Guidelines for managed sets of containers
• When using a managed set of containers for preallocated snapclones, the number of containers
and the size of each container must correspond to the source virtual disks being replicated.
