HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)

• A host that recognizes the S-VOL
• Pair management server
Pair management server conditions:
• Device Manager agent must be installed on the pair management server.
• The server.agent.rm.centralizePairConfiguration property for the Device
Manager agent on the pair management server must be set to enable (default: disable).
• RAID Manager must be installed on the pair management server.
If the command devices recognized by the pair management server support the authentication
function, install version 01-25-03/01 or later of RAID Manager on the pair management
server.
• If there are multiple NICs on the pair management server, the Device Manager agent and
RAID Manager must use the same IP address.
Copy pair (P-VOL and S-VOL) conditions:
• The P-VOL and S-VOL must be managed by a single management server (Device Manager
server).
• The P-VOL and S-VOL must be recognized by the hosts (application servers).
HP recommends that P-VOL and S-VOL be assigned to separate application servers.
• From the P-VOL and S-VOL, LUN security must be set for the host (application server).
The pair management server does not need to recognize the P-VOL or S-VOL.
Command device conditions:
• The management server must recognize a command device.
The command device security must not be used for a command device.
• From a command device, LUN security must be set for the pair management server.
To manage copy pairs for Continuous Access or Continuous Access Journal, LUN security
must be set for the host, from the command devices of the storage systems of both the P-VOL
and S-VOL.
CAUTION:
Before you manipulate the copy pair from the Device Manager GUI or CLI, check
whether authentication mode is enabled for the command device that is connected
to the pair management server. If so, you must execute the raidcom -login
command on the server to authenticate yourself.
• If the OS of the pair management server is Windows, you must be authenticated
as the user who executes the Device Manager agent service (HBsA Service).
• If multiple command devices in the same storage system are connected to the
pair management server, enable authentication mode for all of the command
devices.
If you perform user authentication for the storage system once, you can access
all of the command devices in the same storage system.
• When the command device's authentication mode status is changed from dis-
abled to enabled, if there is another host that recognizes the command device,
also perform user authentication on that host.
Resource group conditions (when managing partitioned resources in HP XP7 or P9500):
• The volumes below, or a storage system containing the volumes below, must be registered in
a resource group managed by the user.
