HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.1-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)

• If you want to use Device Manager to control copy pairs managed by RAID Manager, the config-

uration definition file on the host that manages the P-VOL of the copy pair and the configuration

definition file on the host that manages the S-VOL of the copy pair must have the same group name

and the same pair name. If different names are specified, Device Manager cannot control that

copy pair. In addition, if you want to use a single host to manage multiple copy pairs, make sure

that these copy pairs satisfy the conditions written below. If there are copy pairs that do not satisfy

the conditions, modify the configuration definition file.

• If the version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host is 05-60 or earlier:

Each copy pair on the host must have a unique combination of the following items:

Group name

Pair name

• If the version of the Device Manager agent installed on the host is 05-70 or later:

Each copy pair on the host must have a unique combination of the following items:

Port number

Group name

Pair name

• If you want to create a copy pair by using RAID Manager or if RAID Manager is already being

used to manage copy pairs, you can use the Device Manager CLI to create a configuration

definition file.

• You cannot use Device Manager to create copy pairs from configuration definition files created

in the Device Manager CLI.

• To create copy pairs in RAID Manager from configuration definition files created in the Device

Manager CLI, you must change the MU numbers to appropriate values.

• If you have created an invalid configuration definition file by using the Device Manager, you

cannot delete the file from Device Manager. To do this, you need to delete or edit the config-

uration definition file on the host managing the copy pairs. An invalid configuration file or a

configuration file that is not used for performing copy pair operations might affect system per-

formance (for example, when adding or refreshing a storage system). Delete such configuration

files from the host that manages copy pairs.
