HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Recovery Management User Guide

NOTE:
• Each Recovery Group has a single Storage Replication Group that is used by the logical
servers in that Recovery Group only. All boot and data LUNs used by these logical servers
must be included in the same Storage Replication Group.
• A Storage Replication Group is a set of storage LUNs on a particular disk array that are
replicated with write order preserved. This corresponds to the HP P6000 Continuous
Access DR Group concept as well as the HP P9000 Continuous Access consistency group
concept.
2. Create one Storage Replication Group for each set of logical servers that will be included in
a Recovery Group.
3. Record the following details about the Storage Replication Group configuration. This information
is required when you configure Matrix recovery management for replicated storage:
• Local and Remote Site storage identifiers, for example, an HP P6000 storage array WWN
or an HP P9000 array serial number
NOTE: In the same way that conflict in the configuration of MAC addresses at the Local
and Remote Sites is avoided in “Setting up Networking” (page 9), conflict must also be
avoided in the configuration of WWNs, if the WWNs are not private to the respective
sites. The same technique using VCEM exclusion ranges is available for array WWN
configuration.
• Storage Management Server FQDN names and credentials for the Local and Remote
Sites, for example, HP P6000 Command View server name and credentials to access the
Command View server
• Storage Replication Group name given for the boot and data LUNs of the logical servers
that will be part of the same Recovery Group, for example, the HP P6000 DR Group
name
NOTE:
◦ HP P6000, HP P9000, and User Defined Storage Replication Groups must use the
same Storage Replication Group name at the Local Site and the Remote Site.
◦ HP 3PAR remote copy Storage Replication Groups will have different names at the
Local Site and the Remote Site.
• Storage port WWN and LUN for the replicated LUN, in the case of raw LUNs used by
DR Protected logical servers
General storage setup notes
• For information on storage setup of cross-technology logical servers (logical servers capable
of being VC-hosted or VM-hosted), see: Dynamic workload movement with CloudSystem
Matrix.
• For a list of supported storage, see the HP Insight Management 7.3 Update 1 Support Matrix
at Enterprise Information Library.
• Hyper-V virtual machines in clustered environments must be stored on cluster shared volumes.
HP P6000 storage setup notes
• With HP P6000 Continuous Access Software storage replication, when an asynchronous
replication group is used in a Recovery Group and an unplanned Recovery Group failover
occurs, a full copy of the new source vDisks is automatically duplicated on the new destination
