HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 242)

Copy group information is acquired using SVPs using the instance of Device Manager agent and
P9000 RAID Manager on the management server. See “
Setting up an SVP as a virtual command
device ” on page 238 for more information.
NOTE:
Although copy groups defined in storage can be managed through virtual command devices, use of
a Virtual Command Device server is not supported.
Prerequisites for copy group configurations defined in storage
The following requirements apply to copy groups defined in storage.
Prerequisites Target
• The management server has been discovered as a pair management server in
Replication Manager on the pair management server. (If performing discovery
of copy groups defined in storage at a remote site, you also need to refresh
the Device Manager configuration on the remote site.)
• The Device Manager server must have already discovered the storage systems
and their primary/secondary volumes, and the server must be registered to
the Replication Manager as an information source.
• Device Manager agent 7.1.0 or later and P9000 RAID Manager 01-25-xx/xx
or later must be installed.
• The communication path between Device Manager server and Replication
Manager must be HTTPS.
• When a P9500 storage system is registered on the Device Manager server,
the user name and password must satisfy the following conditions:
1) They each cannot exceed 63 characters in length.
2) Only characters supported by the P9000 RAID Manager commands can
be used. For details, consult the HP StorageWorks P9000 RAID Manager
User's Guide.
Management server
• The serial numbers of the storage systems managed by the Device Manager
server must be unique.
• The primary and secondary storage systems must both be P9500.
