HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.3.1-00 Release Notes

If you use Pair Configuration Wizard only once to generate and execute the replacement tasks for all
of the secondary volumes in the Continuous Access Synchronous or XP P9000/XP Continuous Access
Journal copy pair, task execution might not succeed.
Site filter conditions in Pair Configuration Wizard
Site and Storage System drop-down lists are empty and you cannot select candidate volumes if all of
the following conditions are met.
Conditions
1. In Shared Views, you create a site and then register a storage system in the site.
2. In the 2. Pair Association page of the Pair Configuration Wizard, you perform the following
operations in the following order:
a. You create a remote copy pair group.
b. In the Volume Type drop-down list, you select a secondary volume.
c. In the Site drop-down list, you select a site that contains an invalid storage system. The storage
system is invalid because it cannot be used as a secondary volume for the specified
combination of primary volume and copy type. For example, the license for the selected copy
type is not registered.
Recovery procedure
On the Criteria tab of the Candidate List pane, perform these steps:
1. Click the Clear button to clear the filter condition.
2. Specify the filter conditions for the candidate volume you want to select.
Adding command devices
When using the Add Command Devices Wizard, even though you cannot specify a pair volume as
a command device, the Candidate Devices screen might show primary volumes of Snapshot copy
pairs that are configured as V-VOLs without LUNs.
If you select such a volume and attempt to add a command device, an error occurs and the operation
does not complete.
Execution of multiple tasks for the same copy pair
If execution of multiple tasks for the same copy pair overlaps, some tasks may either remain in the
executing status
1
or generate an RPM-00506, KAVN00454-E, or KAVN00456-E message. The
symptom depends on the types and combinations of the tasks for which execution overlapped.
Conditions
This behavior may occur when both of the following conditions are met:
1. Execution of multiple tasks overlaps on the same copy pair.
2. A copy pair status-changing task is included in the tasks described in the first condition.
2
Recovery procedure
When a task freezes in execution status:
• Restart the P9000 Command View AE Suite Common Component service. The task in execution
status will unconditionally shift to failure status. If you need to execute the task, make sure the
execution is not overlapped with other tasks.
• If you need to execute the task, edit the failed task so that execution does not overlap with other
tasks, and then re-execute it.
1
Even if the GUI shows that the tasks are in executing status, the processes defined in the tasks do not
freeze. The processes end either successfully or unsuccessfully depending on the execution order.
