Usually, a host is the computer on which the
application programs are installed. HP
StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity
Manager or P9000 mainframe agent is installed
on a host.
Note: If Device Manager server is not registered
as an information source, or P9000 mainframe
agent is being used, the information displayed
by the GUI is limited. For details, see the HP
P9000 Replication Manager Software User
Guide.
By installing HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business
Continuity Manager (6.2 or later), you can
manage copy pairs from Replication Manager.
BCM Agent (installed as part of ) handles requests
from Replication Manager. For more information,
see “P9000 mainframe agent versus BCM
Agent” on page 24.
If you use the remote scan function of HP
StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity
Manager, there is no need to install a host (pair
management server) at the remote site.
Note: You must set up an environment prior to
performing remote scans or using pair
management functions. For details, see the HP
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software
User Guide.
Like a pair management server in an open system,
a mainframe system host collects management
information, including copy pair statuses and
performance information for remote copying.
Therefore, a mainframe system host is sometimes
called a pair management server.
