HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.3.1-00 User Guide

About configuration definition file formats

New configuration definition files (HORCM configuration files) can be generated in either

HORCM_LDEV format or HORCM_DEV format. Replication Manager allows you to specify the format

for new configuration definition files using the server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm and

server.agent.rm.cuLdevForm properties in the Device Manager agent server.properties

file. (For detailed property file descriptions, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition

Suite Software Administrator Guide.)

By default, new configuration definition files are generated in the HORCM_DEV format. To change

the default format to HORCM_LDEV, set the value of server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm

to HORCM_LDEV.

To maintain consistency of configuration definition file formats, Replication Manager does not allow

creation of configuration definition files with mixed formats. However, Replication Manager supports

pre-existing configuration definition files that have mixed formats. When new copy pairs are added

to an existing copy group, Replication Manager confirms the existing file format of the configuration

definition file and applies the same format for the new copy pairs. If new copy pairs are added to a

pre-existing configuration definition file that has mixed formats (HORCM_LDEV and HORCM_DEV

formats), Replication Manager determines the format for the new copy pairs using the

server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm property in the Device Manager agent

server.properties file.
