Checking a copy group

TIP:

In open systems, copy pair statuses are normally acquired from the Device Manager agent on the

pair management server. However, if copy pairs have been created using storage system operation

management software (such as Remote Web Console), the configuration definition information (the

configuration definition file for P9000 RAID Manager on the pair management server) does not exist.

In this case, copy pair statuses are acquired from the Device Manager server. Pair status acquisition

from the Device Manager server takes more time than acquisition from the Device Manager agent.

For this reason, if you want to frequently check the pair status of specific copy pairs, you should

prepare an environment in which the configuration of the copy pairs has been defined using Replication

Manager.
