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

• From the P-VOL and S-VOL, LUN security must be set for the host (application server).

The management server does not need to recognize the P-VOL or S-VOL.

• The P-VOL and S-VOL must be recognized by the hosts (application servers).

HP recommends that P-VOL and S-VOL be assigned to separate application servers.

Resource group requirements (when managing partitioned resources in HP XP7 or P9500):

• 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)

Note that managing partitioned resources might slow the display for some Replication Manager

GUI operations. If a virtual command device is to be used, HP recommends that you allocate

the resource group for each storage system (default resource group) to users.

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)

• Journal volumes are registered in resource groups created on the default virtual storage ma-

chine, and the journal volumes are assigned to the user.

• If virtual IDs are used and different storage systems have the same serial number, command

devices for which the authentication mode is enabled are not connected to the host.

CAUTION:

• Do not install Replication Manager Application Agent on the management server.

• When the Device Manager agent is running, do not perform logout processing of user authentic-

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

cessing 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.

• If the user ID or password for the SVP is changed, the following changes must also be made from

the GUI:

1. From the Edit Storage Systems window of Device Manager, the new user ID or password for

the SVP must be set.

2. From the Configuration Setting window of Replication Manager, the configuration information

of the storage system whose settings were changed must be refreshed.
