About refreshing copy pair status
In open systems, copy pair statuses are acquired using Device Manager agents. If Device Manager
servers installed at multiple sites are used as information sources, the copy pair statuses are acquired
using their Device Manager agents.
TIP:
If copy pairs have been defined using storage system operation management software such as Remote
Web Console, there is no configuration definition file (because there are copy pairs that are not
managed by pair management servers). In this case, you should execute the Device Manager refresh
function from Replication Manager as described in “Acquiring the latest configuration information
(configuration refresh)” on page 362.
Performance-related information, copy progress, and the copy pair state for the secondary volume
cannot be acquired. For details on the Device Manager refresh function, see the HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software Help or HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite
Software CLI Reference Guide. To view the flow of data in open systems, see “Refreshing copy pair
statuses data flow (open systems)” on page 254.
In mainframe systems, the copy pair statuses are acquired from the instances of HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe agent registered as information
sources. To view the flow of data in mainframe systems, see “Refreshing copy pair statuses data flow
(mainframe systems)” on page 255.
