HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Administrator Guide (T3680-96069, June 2012)

To regain manageability of the array:
1. Log on to HP P6000 Command View and take the control of the array.
2. Log on to HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager, and select Tools→Configure.
3. Select P6000 EVA Management Servers in the navigation pane.
4. Click Add, and enter the new server IP address.
Suspending source before replication
Suspending source before replication explicitly adds a Launch command before and after the
replication manager snap command. The Launch command allows calling a batch or command
procedure from the host agent that runs the application to be temporarily quiesced.
Troubleshooting the environment
When problems occur in remote replication operations, inspect the environment for changes. For
example, look for changes in:
• Intersite network performance or bandwidth
• Application users or versions
• Number and type of applications
• Array configuration, including disk losses and subsequent reconstruction
Troubleshooting the SAN
• Use IP network analyzers to examine network performance.
• For each switch in a fabric, confirm that all host ports are on the correct fabrics.
• For each array, confirm that all controller ports are on the correct fabric.
• Check performance on each switch port.
For comprehensive SAN information, see the HP SAN Design Reference Guide.
Troubleshooting arrays
Use HP P6000 Command View or the replication manager to check array status. If either array is
not displayed, there could be a zoning problem. If both arrays are displayed, examine the source
array first:
• Are all ports working?
• Are DR groups replicating?
• Are the source virtual disks presented correctly?
Then, check the status of the destination array:
• Are all ports working?
• Are destination virtual disks and DR groups available?
For additional information, see the HP P6000 Continuous Access Implementation Guide.
Storage array discovery fails after a management change
After changing the management server, replication manager automatic discovery and manual
discovery of storage resources fail and the operational state of storage resources appears as
unknown.
To solve this problem:
1. In HP P6000 Command View, select a storage array.
