HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)

CAUTION:
Before you manipulate the copy pair from the Device Manager GUI or CLI, check
whether authentication mode is enabled for the command device that is connected
to the host (application server). If so, you must execute the raidcom -login
command on the host to authenticate yourself.
• If the OS of the host is Windows, you must be authenticated as the user who
executes the Device Manager agent service (HBsA Service).
• If multiple command devices in the same storage system are connected to the
host, enable the authentication mode for all of the command devices.
If you perform user authentication for the storage system once, you can access
all of the command devices in the same storage system.
• When the command device's authentication mode status is changed from dis-
abled to enabled, if there is another host that recognizes the command device,
also perform user authentication on that host.
Resource group conditions (when managing partitioned resources in HP XP7 or P9500):
• The volumes below, or a storage system containing the volumes below, must be registered in
a resource group managed by the user.
- P-VOL
- S-VOL
- All pool volumes that make up a pool (when managing Snapshot or Fast Snap pairs)
- All journal volumes that make up a journal (when managing Continuous Access Journal pairs)
• A resource group in which a command device has been registered must be created and as-
signed to each user.
• Command devices whose storage system resource group ID is 0 (resource pools of the default
virtual storage machine in HP XP7) are connected to the host, and the information of the
command devices is defined in the rgcmddev.properties file of the Device Manager
agent.
• The authentication mode is enabled for the command device, and the raidcom -login
command is used for user authentication for all the command devices whose storage system
resource group ID is 0 (resource pools of the default virtual storage machine in HP XP7).
If the OS of the host is Windows, you must be authenticated as the user who executes the
Device Manager agent service (HBsA Service).
When a virtual storage machine is created to manage resources in HP XP7:
• The volumes below must be registered in a virtual storage machine by the user.
- P-VOL
- S-VOL
- All pool volumes that make up a pool (when managing Snapshot or Fast Snap pairs)
• Command devices and journal volumes are registered in resource groups created on the default
virtual storage machine, and the command devices and the journal volumes are assigned to
the user.
• If virtual IDs are used and different storage systems have the same serial number, the command
devices in each storage system are connected to a different host.
