HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring for Linux Getting Started (T2558-96077, February 2008)

Connection Manager connection

1. There are four methods available for opening the Connection Manager and establishing a connection manually:

! Highlight a replication set and select Tools, Connection Manager.

! Right-click on a replication set and select Connection Manager.

! Drag and drop a replication set to a target machine on the left pane of the Management Console.

! Highlight a replication set and then drag and drop the replication set to a target machine on the right pane of the

Management Console.

The Connection Manager opens to the

Servers tab.

2. Some entries on the Servers tab will be completed depending on which method you used to access it. For example, if

you entered the Connection Manager by right-clicking on a replication set, the name of the replication set will be

displayed in the replication set field.

3. Verify the correct source machine and replication set were selected from the Management Console. If they are not, use

the

Source Server and Replication Set fields to identify the source machine and replication set for which you want to

establish the connection.

4. Depending on the method you used to open the Connection Manager, the Target Server and Route fields may or may

not be completed. If they are not, select a target machine and the primary IP address of that machine will automatically

appear. If you have multiple IP addresses on your target, verify the

Route field is set to the correct network path.

5. Select the target path, which corresponds to the desired location on the target where the replicated data will reside, by

selecting

One-to-One or All-to-One. If you want to specify a custom location, select either of the radio buttons and

then click on the directory entry under the Target Path column. You will be in edit mode and can specify the desired

location on the target for the replicated data.

6. If you want mirroring and/or replication to start immediately when the connection is established, mark either or both of

the two check boxes at the bottom of the

Servers tab.

7. Click Connect to establish the connection.

NOTE: To initiate a connection using the Resource Planning Tool, select the Diagnostics target. The Route field

will automatically populate with

Throughput Diagnostics Utility (TDU). For detailed information on

statistics logging, see the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.

NOTE: Other tabs are available in the Connection Manager to set advanced connection settings. To establish a

connection, you do not need to make modifications to these tabs; a connection can be established with

the default settings. For more information, see the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.
