Enter the local and remote Array WWN (World Wide Name) as

provide by the storage administrator. There should be no dashes,

spaces, or colons in the WWN – only consecutive hexadecimal

characters.

Local and Remote Array WWN

Enter the Failsafe setting for the Storage Replication (DR) Group

in the EVA array. Possible values are:

• Failsafe enabled— All host I/O to the

DR group

is stopped if

data cannot be replicated between the source array and

destination array. This ensures that both arrays will always

contain the same data.

• Failsafe disabled—If replication of data between the source

and destination array is interrupted, the host continues writes

to the source array, but all remote replication to the destination

array stops and I/Os are put into the DR group write history

log until remote replication is re-established.

The default is Disabled.

Failsafe Mode

Specifies whether the

DR group

can fail over to the destination

(Recovery) site in cases where the data at the destination site may

not be current. When this is set to True, Insight Recovery proceeds

with the failover even in cases where the destination data may

not be current. When this is set to False, Insight Recovery does

not allow the failover to occur if the destination data is not current.

The default is True.

for all Command View EVA servers at both the Primary and Recovery Sites.

Notes

• This operation may take several minutes to complete, because storage information is being validated.

• DR group is the Continuous Access EVA term for Storage Replication Group.

• For a Storage Replication Group to be successfully added to an HP Insight Recovery configuration, the

entered or selected Command View EVA servers must be actively managing the EVA arrays.

• The default value for UseNonCurrentDataOk is True, and with this setting, during a site failover all

Recovery Groups can be successfully failed over by Insight Recovery even if the recovery site does not

have current data for some or all Recovery Groups. It is possible that the arrays at both sites may not

be in sync (i.e. the data at the recovery site may not be current) at the time when you click Change

local site to Primary at the Recovery Site. If the data at the Recovery Site is not current at the time of a

site failover for a given Recovery Group, if the UseNonCurrentDataOk parameter is set to False (the

non-default value) for the corresponding Storage Replication Group, the Recovery Group may not

failover successfully.

In such a case, the Storage Replication Group associated with this Recovery Group can be manually

failed over using the Command View EVA server at the Recovery Site and then the Recovery Group

can be failed over to the Recovery Site using Insight Recovery. In such a case, the most current data

that was not replicated from the non-functional Primary Site array would be irrecoverably lost.

▲ When editing Storage Groups:

You can only change the Command View EVA servers and their credentials, as well as the Failsafe

Mode and UseNonCurrentDataOk settings. No other fields can be edited. If you must edit the other

fields, delete the current storage replication group and create a new one.
