HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

Notes
• After a device/copy group is configured in the resource configuration utility, do not change
the device/copy group name or swap the name with another device/copy group name in
the HORCM file. If you do this, restart the HORCM manager instance and reconfigure the HP
XP Cluster Extension resource.
• Do not use HORCM commands to change the device/copy group property for a device/copy
group that is configured for an HP XP Cluster Extension resource. If you do this, the changed
property is not reflected immediately in the HP XP CLX Settings tab. To work around this
situation, re-select the device/copy group from the XP device/copy group menu in the HP XP
CLX Settings tab.

Activating the pair/resync monitor
The pair/resync monitor detects and responds to suspended Continuous Access links if the
ResyncMonitor object is set to YES. If the ResyncMonitorAutoRecover object is set to YES, automatic
disk pair resynchronization is also activated.
When the resource is taken offline, the monitor is stopped for the RAID Manager device/copy
group used for this resource.
