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

- 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 pair management server, 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 pair management server.

CAUTION:

When the Device Manager agent is running, do not perform logout processing of user authentication

for the storage system by directly executing a RAID Manager command. If you do so, processing

performed from the Device Manager GUI or CLI might not finish properly. If you need to log out, stop

the Device Manager agent service first.
