HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 254)

To set up an SVP as a virtual command device:
1. Change the account used for execution of the Device Manager agent service to an account with
Administrator permission. (The default is the LocalSystem account.)
2. Specify the IP address of the SVP in the HORCM_CMD section of the HORCM configuration file.
3. Add copy groups to the HORCM configuration file.
4. Execute the raidcom -login command on the server managing the HORCM configuration
file.
5. Perform a storage refresh from Device Manager.
6. If you using a remote Device Manager, follow the procedure for “ Refreshing configuration
information manually for each information source ” on page 275. The new copy groups are
displayed in the Copy Groups table of the Hosts view.
After you complete these steps, you can perform pair operations using the new resources.
NOTE:
For P9000 RAID Manager user authentication, Replication Manager uses the SVP user ID and password
registered when the storage system was added to Device Manager. If you change the SVP user ID or
password, you must do the following:
1. Use Device Manager to change the SVP user ID and password. (For more information, see the
Device Manager documentation).
2. Refresh the configuration from Replication Manager.

3. Specify the IP address of the Virtual Command Device server in the HORCM_CMD section of the
HORCM configuration file.
4. Add copy groups to the HORCM configuration file.
5. If the Virtual Command Device server is connected to a command device that has authentication
mode enabled, log into the account used for execution of the Device Manager agent service and
execute the
raidcom -login .

For Linux systems, log in as the root user.
