CAUTION:
If you want to check the latest copy pair information by using the GUI or CLI, take either of the
following actions depending on the copy pair management method.
If local management is used: Refresh the storage systems.
If central management is used: Refresh the pair management server.
• To use an SVP as a virtual command device to manage copy pairs defined as a device group:
When P-VOLs and S-VOLs are assigned to the management server, the following property must
be set:
server.agent.rm.ignorePairStatus property in the server.properties file of the
Device Manager agent
To check the latest copy pair information via the GUI or CLI, refresh the storage systems.
• If copy pairs are managed that have been defined by using a device group or a virtual command
device
Because responses to RAID Manager commands take more time than when managing copy pairs
in a configuration using physical command devices, processing by the Device Manager agent
might terminate in an error. HP recommends that you change the following property values in
advance:
• server.agent.rm.moduleTimeOut property in the server.properties file of the
Device Manager agent
Set the value to 1800 or greater.
• agent.rm.TimeOut property in the agent.properties file of the Device Manager agent
Set the value to 1800 or greater.
• hdvmagtif.MaxPollingCount property in the agentif.properties file of the Replic-
ation Manager server
Set the value to 100.
• hdvmagtif.PollingInterval property in the agentif.properties file of the Replic-
ation Manager server
Set the value to 60 or greater.
• If you want to unify the coding format of pair volume information into the HORCM_DEV or HOR-
CM_LDEV format when creating pairs:
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm property in the server.properties file of the
Device Manager agent
• If you want to exclude pair volume that is already managed by RAID Manager from Device
Manager operations
server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance property in the server.properties file of the
Device Manager agent
• If you want to optimize a user-created RAID Manager configuration definition file so that it can
be used in Device Manager
server.agent.rm.optimization.userHorcmFile property in the server.properties
file of the Device Manager agent
In addition, to use Replication Manager to manage copy pairs, you need to specify the properties
below. If the properties are not set to appropriate values, the memory heap size might be insufficient
or a timeout might occur during the Replication Manager processing.
