Setting up redundant pair management server configurations
Redundant pair management server configurations allow remote copy operations even when a remote
pair management server is unavailable (whether due to maintenance or hardware failure). Redundancy
can be defined in a variety of configurations, such as N:1 (N-to-one) and 1:M (one-to-many).
Pair management servers can be selected and registered (as a primary/secondary pair) during copy
group creation. Once registered, a pair of primary/secondary pair management servers is known
as a node. Nodes can be added or deleted as necessary without having to disband and reconstruct
the copy group.
