• All pool volumes that make up a pool (when managing Snapshot pairs)
• All journal volumes that make up a journal (when managing Continuous Access Journal pairs)
• A shared resource group in which a command device has been registered must be created and
assigned to each user.
The setting is required when managing partitioned resources in P9500.
Note that, if each user uses a different command device, register the command device in a resource
group managed by the users, instead of registering them in a shared resource group.
• RAID Manager must be installed on the pair management server.
If the authentication mode for command devices recognized by the pair management server is
enabled, install version 01-25-03/01 or later of RAID Manager on the application server.
For details on how to install RAID Manager, see the relevant manual for RAID Manager.
• If there are multiple NICs on the pair management server, the Device Manager agent and RAID
Manager must use the same IP address.
CAUTION:
If the pair management server is connected to a command device whose authentication mode is
enabled, you need to authenticate users by executing the raidcom command on the pair management
server before performing copy pair operations from the GUI or CLI. If the application server OS is
Windows, you need to authenticate users as a Device Manager agent service (HBsA Service) execution
user.
NOTE:
When central management is used, copy pairs of a host that uses a platform on which the Device
Manager agent cannot be installed can be recognized.
System configuration for managing copy pairs: Using a virtual command device server
The following figure shows an example of a configuration in which copy pairs are managed by using
a virtual command device server.
