HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.1-00 User Guide

TIP:

If you need to stop the wizard before the copy pair configuration definition is completed, it can be

temporarily saved as a workflow. For more information, see “Saving workflows” on page 188.

To create a copy group:

1. Perform the following steps if you are creating a copy pair configuration definition from a saved

workflow:

1. From the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then choose Workflows. A list of saved workflows

is displayed.

2. Select a saved workflow and click Edit Workflow.

2. On the 3. Group Management page of the Pair Configuration Wizard, select a pair group, and

then click Create Group.

The Create Group dialog box appears.

3. Specify the copy group name.

4. To specify a node of the pair management server, select an existing HORCM instance, or create

a new one. To create a new HORCM instance, you need to specify the instance number and

UDP port number.

NOTE:

If you are creating a redundant configuration for the pair management server, specify the

primary and secondary node combination of the pair management server.

For details about how HORCM instances are managed by Replication Manager, see “About

HORCM instances” on page 164.

5. Specify the path group ID or MU number.

TIP:

HP recommends specifying same value for both primary and secondary path group IDs.

By default, Replication Manager automatically assigns an MU Number, which identifies the

generation number for backup volumes. To change this value, choose another from the drop-down

list.

For more information on the MU Number, see “Managing generations (replica

rotation)” on page 385.

6. Click OK to create a new copy group. The created copy group is displayed in the Copy Group

pane.

7. Click Next to continue creating the copy pair configuration definition or click Save to temporarily

save the workflow.
