Index

Default: None

#: In a newly created configuration definition file, poll is set to 1000. When a pair is added to an

existing configuration definition file or when a configuration definition file is optimized, the existing

settings are used.

server.agent.rm.temporaryInstance

Specify the instance number of the configuration definition file that the Device Manager agent

temporarily uses to acquire copy pair information.

Specify a value from 0 to 3997.

An instance number in the range specified-value to specified-value +98 is used.

Default: 900

server.agent.rm.temporaryPort

Specify the UDP port number of the configuration definition file that the Device Manager agent

temporarily uses to acquire copy pair information.

Specify a value from 1 to 65437.

A UDP port number in the range specified-value to specified-value +98 is used.

Default: 53232

server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm

Specify which format should be used to specify pair volume information in the configuration definition

file when creating a pair: HORCM_DEV format or HORCM_LDEV format.

If you want to unify the format into the HORCM_DEV format, specify HORCM_DEV. If you want to unify

the format into the HORCM_LDEV format, specify HORCM_LDEV. We recommend that you use the

HORCM_LDEV format.

Note, however, that when you create a copy pair for a mainframe volume, the HORCM_LDEV format

is used to specify information in the configuration definition file irrespective of the specification of the

property.

Default: HORCM_LDEV

The Device Manager agent decides which format should be used in the configuration definition file

when creating a pair according to the following conditions:

• Which format is used in the existing configuration definition file: HORCM_DEV format or HOR-

CM_LDEV format.

• A pair is created for a new copy group or existing copy group.
