About Matrix recovery management export and import
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. You can change this to a unique
file name, for example, if you want to save multiple Matrix recovery management configuration
export files.
• 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 will not be 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.
Import
• Only Recovery Groups that are activated at the exporting site will be imported.
• If the importing site is not configured for Matrix recovery management, Matrix recovery
management Site information will be 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 username and port number fields must match.
◦ For HP P9000, the username and RAID instance number must match.
◦ For HP 3PAR storage system, the password file name must match.
NOTE: If any one of the above items is not matched between the exporting site and the
importing site, the import operation will fail.
NOTE: To manage HP 3PAR remote copy, the encrypted password file for both the
Local Site and Remote Site Inserv storage servers must be available on the CMS at each
site and the name of the password file must be the same on the CMS at each site.
