•
To specify the existing HORCM instances for which you do not want Replication Manager or
Device Manager to add or delete copy pairs or change copy pair statuses. You can view config-
uration information for copy groups and copy pairs included in the specified instance but cannot
perform any copy pair operations.
TIP:
HORCM instances created external to Replication Manager are not recognized and therefore not
provided in the list of candidate instances in the Create Group dialog box. You will need to perform
a configuration refresh for these instances to be recognized.

A copy group is created by assigning copy pairs to a pair group. For open systems pair configuration,
copy groups can be created on the 3. Group Management page of the Pair Configuration Wizard.
TIP:
If you need to stop the wizard before the copy pair configuration definition is completed, it can be
temporarily saved as a workflow. For more information, see “
To create a copy group:
