for more information see “Testing Recovery Groups” (page 27)

servers. If there are VM-hosted logical servers, use the VMware Virtual Center or the Microsoft
Hyper-V Management Console to rescan and refresh virtual machine resources.
Matrix recovery management export and import operations
This section lists key points about Matrix recovery management export and import behavior.
Export
• The Matrix recovery management configuration at the exporting site is included in the
exportconfig file generated at the exporting site. The Matrix recovery management
configuration export file is named exportconfig by default. The exportconfig file is
saved to a default location specified by the browser on the Administrator's system. You have
the option to change the default export configuration file name, for example, if you want to
save multiple Matrix recovery management configuration export files. You can also change
the location that the export configuration file is saved to, before completing the save operation.
• All of the Recovery Groups that you want to export from the Local Site and import to the Remote
Site must be activated at the Local Site. Recovery Groups that are deactivated when the export
operation is performed at the Local Site are not imported at the Remote Site. If there are no
activated Recovery Groups at the exporting site, the generated exportconfig file cannot
be used at the importing site.
• DR Protected IO services belonging to Recovery Groups are exported, and they can be imported
at a Remote Site, however, a replica IO service cannot be exported or imported.
Import
• Only Recovery Groups that are activated at the exporting site are imported.
• The Matrix recovery management import operation automatically creates a replica IO service
for each IO service belonging to each IO services Recovery Group being imported.
NOTE: A replica IO service from a Remote Site cannot be imported using a Matrix recovery
management import operation.
• If the importing site is not configured for Matrix recovery management, Matrix recovery
management Site information is not imported.
• If the importing site is configured for Matrix recovery management, the site name and CMS
at the importing site must match the site name and CMS in the exportconfig file.
• Storage Management Server information is imported if Storage Management Servers are not
configured at the importing site. If the importing site already contains Storage Management
Server information:
◦ The site locality of each Storage Management Server configured at the importing site
must match the site locality of a Storage Management Server in the exportconfig file.
◦ The type of Storage Management Server must match if the name matches.
◦ For HP P6000, the user name and port number fields must match.
◦ For HP P9000, the user name and RAID instance number must match.
◦ For HP 3PAR storage system, the password file name must match.
If any one of the above items is not matched between the exporting site and the importing
site, the import operation fails.
