Copy groups defined by device group enable you to manage the LDEVs in a storage system as a
single entity, allowing operations to be performed in batch mode.
NOTE:
As of release 7.1.0, Replication Manager supports the following operations with copy groups defined
by device group:
• Monitoring
• Basic Operations of the Change Pair Status Wizard (split, resync, and restore)
For details about creating and modifying copy groups defined by device group, consult the HP P9000
RAID Manager User Guide.

About copy groups defined by device group
Copy group information can be defined in a storage system for HP StorageWorks P9500 storage
systems. Operations on such copy groups are performed through the Service Processor (SVP) only
and cannot be changed from Replication Manager.
Replication Manager detects copy groups defined by device group and displays them along with
copy groups defined in HORCM files in the Copy Groups tab of the
host-name
subwindow.
NOTE:
For copy groups defined by device group, an empty box is displayed in Replication Manager for
server and pair configuration file information as follows.
Server and Config File (Primary and Secondary) in the following windows:
• Copy Groups - copy-type-name dialog box
• host-name subwindow (open systems)
• copy-group-name subwindow (open systems) (checking in the hosts view)
Pair Management Server and Prefix / Config File in the Edit My Copy Groups dialog box.
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 253 for more information.
NOTE:
Although copy groups defined by device group can be managed through virtual command devices,
use of a Virtual Command Device server is not supported.
