HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 148)

Prerequisites for pair configuration
The following items need to be verified before performing pair configuration operations.
Open
• The storage system P-VOL and S-VOL are registered to Device Manager and the Device Manager
instance is registered as an information source.
If using a copy type, a remote path is set.
If selecting an LU, it must not be associated with a device group.
• LDEVs that are managed by P9000 RAID Manager and LDEVs that are managed by HP Storage-
Works P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software do not coexist.
NOTE:
Creating copy pair using LUSE volumes and Fast Snap is not supported
Mainframe
• The disk configuration definition file for the volumes to be used as the P-VOL and S-VOL of the
copy pair has been created using Replication Manager or from a volume scan by HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software.
• The created disk configuration definition file is stored under the same prefix on the same host.
• Datasets for storing a copy group definition file have been allocated under the same prefix.
• The versions of all instances of BCM registered as information sources in are 6.3 or later.
Storage system conditions for pair configuration definition
Replication Manager software allows you to specify copy pair configuration definitions in open systems
in which the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or XP24000/XP20000. Note that
the primary volume and secondary volume included in a copy pair must be in the same storage system
when you use Business Copy or Snapshot, and they must be in different storage systems when you
use Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access Asynchronous, or Continuous Access Journal.
Conditions for volume selection
The following conditions apply for volume selection during pair definition:
• Conditions for primary volumes that can be added (open systems) , page 149
• Conditions for primary volumes that can be added (mainframe systems) , page 149
• Conditions for secondary volumes that can be added (open systems) , page 149
• Conditions for secondary volumes that can be added (mainframe systems) , page 150
The following conditions apply for information displayed during pair definition:
• Conditions affecting displayed storage system information , page 153
• Conditions affecting displayed disk list information , page 73
