Checking copy pair statuses for a copy group

If you have registered the target copy groups as your My Copy Groups, instead of using the following
procedure, you can check the copy pair statuses directly by choosing My Groups and then My Copy
Groups from the Explorer menu.

To check the copy pair statuses for a copy group, perform the following:

1.

Select a host or pair management server.

From the Explorer menu, choose Resources and then Hosts, choose Resources and then Pair
Configurations, or choose Shared Views and then Sites. Select the host or pair management
server that contains the copy pair whose status you want to check.

2.

Select a configuration definition file or a copy group definition file.

From the displayed list, select the configuration definition file or copy group definition file (prefix)
that contains the copy pair whose status you want to check. A list of copy groups is displayed.
For an open system host, click the Copy Groups tab.

In the list of copy groups contained in the selected configuration definition file or copy group
definition file (prefix), you can check for the most serious status (summary status) among the pairs
that exist within each copy group.

3.

Select a copy group.

From the displayed list, select the copy group that includes the copy pair whose status you want
to check.

If necessary, click Refresh Copy Group to refresh the information.

4.

Check the copy pair statuses.

Use the copy group summary to check the copy pair that has the most critical pair status of the
copy pairs in the selected copy group. You can also use the list of copy pairs to check the copy
pair status, copy pair state, and copy progress for each copy pair.

Monitoring performance of remote copies

Replication Manager can monitor the usage ratio of buffers to avoid the overflow of the buffers and
maintain data consistency. You can get notification through SNMP email, based on the predefined
threshold. If you are an administrator you can add volumes to the buffers using Replication Manager.
