HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Recovery Management User Guide

rehearsal, the Recovery Group and its corresponding logical servers and IO services can be
brought back under the control of Matrix recovery management.
Matrix
infrastructure
orchestration
services
Matrix infrastructure orchestration services (IO services) quickly provision infrastructure to
automatically activate physical and virtual servers, storage, and networking from pools of shared
resources. More information on Matrix infrastructure orchestration is available at http://

process
The following table lists the six steps in the Matrix recovery management configuration process.
Table 1 The Matrix recovery management configuration process
Step
number
Description
Local and Remote Sites are defined in this step, including naming the sites, designating
Central Management Servers, and designating preferred target types (physical servers or
virtual machines).
1
Local and remote Storage Management Servers are configured in this step. These servers
manage the Storage Replication groups at the Local and Remote Site respectively.
2
Storage Replication Group information is configured in this step. In Matrix recovery
management, a Storage Replication Group is a generic term for what is referred to as a DR
3
Group in HP P6000 Continuous Access terminology, or a Device Group in HP P9000
terminology.
Recovery Groups are configured in this step. A Recovery Group is a Matrix recovery
management concept that pairs one or more logical servers or IO services with a single
4
Storage Replication Group. Recovery Group Sets can be failed over between Local and
Remote Sites. A Recovery Group Set includes all Recovery Groups that share the same
Preferred and Secondary Sites.
Export the Matrix recovery management configuration to a file at the Local Site .5
Import the Matrix recovery management configuration file at a Remote Site.6
NPIV N_Port ID Virtualization
planned failover A failover of all Recovery Group Sets from one site to another site, initiated in anticipation of an
imminent disaster or for planned downtime.
portability group A portability group is a group of virtual machines or c-Class blades equipped with HP Virtual
Connect (or a combination virtual machines and c-Class blades) that a logical server can be
moved between.
Power-Up Delay A Recovery Group configuration setting that determines the minimum time delay (in minutes)
between the power-up of any two logical servers in a Recovery Group. The actual time delay
may be more than the minimum time delay specified.
Preferred Site The Preferred Site is the site where you prefer the Recovery Group to be activated unless
circumstances require activation of the Recovery Group at the Secondary Site.
primary IO service A primary IO service is the first instance of an IO service that you select for DR Protection in a
Matrix recovery management configuration. A replica IO service is a service Matrix recovery
management creates during an import operation at a recovery site based on the primary IO
service definition in the Matrix recovery management export file.
private A subnet that is not routed outside the data center and typically contains addresses only in the
192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x address ranges. A subnet that is accessible to the Internet and cannot
contain IP addresses in the 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x address ranges.
RDM Raw Disk Mapping
recoverable IO
services
Matrix infrastructure orchestration services that have been configured so they can be included in
a DR Protected Matrix recovery management IO services Recovery Group.
Recovery Group A pairing of one or more logical servers and a single Storage Replication Group. A Recovery
Group has a Recovery Group Start Order number associated with it. During a site failover,
Recovery Groups are failed over from one site to another site in the order specified.
