HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.1-00 Configuration Guide

NOTE:

If you are using a Windows 32-bit environment, you cannot set “Large” as a memory heap size.

For details about how to increase the memory heap size, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced

Edition Suite Software Installation and Configuration Guide.

This section discusses the following:

• Maximum number of copy pairs, page 40

• Maximum number of LDEVs, page 41

• Log data and number of copy pairs, page 42

NOTE:

Mainframe system resources managed by P9000 RAID Manager must be managed as open system

resources. See “Prerequisites for managing copy pairs on mainframe systems using P9000 RAID

Manager” on page 27 for more information.

Maximum number of copy pairs

The following table shows the maximum number of copy pairs.

Notes:

1. Use this formula to determine the number of copy pairs:

(number-of-copy-pairs-for-open-systems * 6) + number-of-copy-pairs-for-

mainframe-systems

NOTE:

In consideration of response time and memory usage, the maximum number of both open and

mainframe pairs that can be operated on by the Pair Configuration Wizard at one time is 1,000. In

the case of a mainframe system, when operating a copy group or consistency group that includes

25,000 or more copy pairs, specify Medium or Large for the memory size.
