HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.2 User Guide

CAUTION:
Observe the following precautions:
• While a copy pair configuration definition is being edited, do not use storage system operation
management software to perform operations on a volume, copy group, or copy pair specified in
that definition. Doing so might cause errors when Replication Manager executes tasks.
• If you have specified the instance number in the server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance
property of the server.properties file of the Device Manager agent running on the pair
management server, you cannot modify the applicable configuration definition file, nor can you
change the status of the copy pair that is defined in that configuration definition file. For details
about the server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance property, see the HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide .

Prerequisites for changing copy pair configuration (mainframe systems)
The following are prerequisite settings for using Replication Manager to change a copy pair
configuration for mainframe systems:
• A dataset must be allocated for the disk configuration definition file on BCM
• A dataset must be allocated for the copy group definition file on BCM
• A route list must be set when using a remote command device
• BCM initialization parameters (Gen'ed DADID, Non Gen'ed DADID, Remote DADID and a prefix
corresponding to each DADID) must be set
• The startup mode values of BCM Agent initialization parameters must be set to EDIT (default value
is MONITOR). If a configuration definition is updated or copy pair status is changed when the
startup mode value is MONITOR, a BCM Agent error will occur.
TIP:
If you want to use an IPv6 connection or SSL communication between Replication Manager and BCM,
IHS must be set up. For details about setting up IHS, refer to the HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business
Continuity Manager Software documentation.
Relationship between managed resources and memory heap size
It is necessary to set an appropriate memory heap size, depending on the maximum number for each
resource. For details on the number of managed resources supported and how to change the memory
heap size, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
Adding copy pairs (completed workflow)
After completing the initial pair configuration, you can add additional copy pairs to a copy pair
configuration definition. This can be done only if the associated task is not in successful status (such
