Configuring a disaster recovery (DR) service

disaster recovery protection (DR protection) for logical servers.
When Matrix recovery management and IO are installed on a CMS and recoverable services
have been configured, you can create DR protected IO services Recovery Groups using the Matrix
recovery management UI. For more information about using Matrix recovery management to
provide disaster protection for recoverable services, see the HP Matrix Operating Environment
