If a validation code is displayed in the instruction of list of configuration definition files in the Pair
Configuration view, see the topic that explains about validation codes in the online help to check the

Troubleshooting replica operations
This section covers error conditions and log events that may occur and how to address them:
• Replica creation fails silently, page 139
• Backup server is not recognized as a pair management server, page 139
• Restoring a replica with roll-forward fails with error message RPM-11510, page 140
• Restoring a replica fails with event ID 454, page 140
• Creating a replica fails with error message RPM-10006, page 141
• Creating a replica fails with event IDs 17, 1 and 10010, page 141
• Disk status remains online after replica operation is complete, page 141
Replica creation fails silently
If replica creation fails when there is not enough disk space to create transaction log files, there may
be no error messages displayed. To delete transaction logs periodically, select Truncate Exchange
transaction log files in the Execution Options of the Create Replica Wizard (2. Setup Options) page.
When this option is selected, transaction log files will be automatically deleted every time a backup
is performed.
Backup server is not recognized as a pair management server
If Replication Manager does not recognize the backup server as a pair management server, make
sure that the P9000 RAID Manager instance on the backup server is running before performing the
following operations:
• Executing Setup Agent or Refresh Hosts
• Executing Mount Replica or Unmount Replica.
TIP:
Even if Replication Manager appears to recognize the backup server as a pair management server,
you should still confirm that the P9000 RAID Manager instance on the backup server is running if the
following conditions are true:
• The configuration is a cluster configuration.
• The backup server contains the configuration definition file on the secondary machine, and no
primary configuration file exists.
