HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.3.1-00 Configuration Guide

multi-target
configuration
A copy pair configuration with a one-to-many relationship between the primary
and secondary volumes. Information from one volume is copied to multiple
volumes.
Non-Gen’ed
Volume
A volume that is not recognized by a mainframe host.
P9000 Command
View AE Common
Component
A component that bundles common functions used by P9000 Command View
AE suite products. Installed as part of Replication Manager, this component
provides functions such as single logon, integrated output of logs, commands
for starting and stopping services, a common GUI interface, and more.
pair In this manual, pair means copy pair.
pair status Indicates the current status of the copy pair. Replication Manager uses six status
values: error, suspend, copying, sync, simplex, and unknown. A pair
status is also called copy pair status.
paired volume Denotes a primary and secondary volume pair linked by a volume replication
functionality of a storage system. Also called a copy pair. In this manual,
copy pair is sometimes written simply as pair.
prefix The prefix portion of a copy group definition file created by HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe agent.
Copy group definition files are created individually by prefix, so Replication
Manager uses this prefix as a unique name to identify copy group definition files
created by HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software
or P9000 mainframe agent.
P-VOL (primary
volume)
The source volume that is copied to another volume using the volume replication
functionality of a storage system.
property files Generic term for the files that define a Replication Manager operating
environment. The Replication Manager operating environment can be modified
by changing the appropriate property files.
RAID Manager Software used to control volume replication functionality (such as Continuous
Access or Business Copy) by means of commands issued from a host to a storage
system. A command device must be set up in the storage system to enable the
storage system to receive commands from RAID Manager.
In an open system, Replication Manager uses the RAID Manager configuration
definition files to modify copy pair configurations and to acquire configuration
information. Copy pair modification processing, such as splitting and
re-synchronizing copy pairs, is executed on the storage system using RAID
Manager.
refresh The term refresh refers to updating the database that is maintained by
Replication Manager by using the most recent information. This database stores
copy pair configuration information and copy pair status information obtained
from Device Manager servers, Device Manager Agent, HP StorageWorks P9000
for Business Continuity Manager Software, P9000 mainframe agent, and
Application Agent.
remote path A logical path linking storage systems that is used for remote copying (replication
of volumes between storage systems).
