HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 265)

TIP:
The configuration might be updated often if both settings are enabled. Therefore HP recommends that
if you want to enable the periodic update setting, you disable the automatic update setting.
When automatic refreshing of configuration information is enabled, Replication Manager regularly
checks whether Device Manager servers registered as information sources have refreshed their storage
systems configurations. The automatic acquisition of configuration information from information sources
is triggered whenever a storage system refresh operation is executed in Device Manager. As a result
the configuration information in Replication Manager is automatically synchronized with the updated
configuration information in the Device Manager server database.
You can enable or disable the automatic refresh option by setting the
base.repositry.synchronize.polling property in the base.properties file on the
management server. This option takes effect when the base.repositry.synchronize.polling
property is set to true . The monitoring interval at which the regular checks for storage refresh are
performed and the interval at which a message is displayed if configuration information is not
synchronized is determined by the values of the
base.repositry.synchronize.interval and
base.repositry.synchrocheck.interval properties in the base.properties file. For
details on these properties, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
TIP:
Replication Manager does not regularly check whether instances of HP StorageWorks P9000 for
Business Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe agent registered as information sources
have refreshed their storage systems configurations. When a storage system managed exclusively by
HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software is refreshed, the information is
provided by HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe
agent.
When the periodic refreshing of configuration information is enabled, the latest configuration is
acquired from the information source regardless of a storage refresh operation in Device Manager.
For this option, you should specify a configuration refresh interval for acquiring the latest configuration
information using the Refresh Setting option in the Explorer menu. This option takes effect when an
update cycle is specified for the Interval parameter in the Settings window. It is disabled when "NONE"
is specified.
The following information is automatically refreshed every 5 minutes, regardless of the refresh settings
for configuration information:
• Journal group status
• Journal volume usage on a journal group basis
• Pool status
• Pool volume usage on a pool basis
