1 Overview
HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager (the replication manager) is a graphical and command
line user interface for managing replication on HP storage arrays. It is provided with licensed
replication products, including HP P6000 Business Copy and HP P6000 Continuous Access. The
CLUI is installed with the replication manager and allows you to perform local and remote replication
using single commands and scripts.
This chapter contains general topics about the CLUI and its use.
Prerequisites
Use of this product requires the following:
HP storage array and controller software installed and configured
Array management software installed
Local and/or remote replication licenses installed
Replication manager server and host agent software installed
For supported storage arrays, management server hardware and software, and replication
environments, including restrictions, see HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference.
Sample use
The basic CLUI scenario is to log in, select an array, and then enter commands to perform replication
tasks. Commands that involve virtual disks or other array resources require you to first select an
array. The following example accesses the CLUI from the GUI, selects an array, and changes the
properties of a DR group. For other access methods, see “Accessing the CLUI” (page 11). For other
CLUI commands, see “CLUI commands” (page 16).
