.

PPRC

Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy

prefix

The prefix portion of a copy group definition file (prefix

.GRP.

copy-group-id)

created by HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software
or P9000 mainframe agent. Copy group definition files are created individually
by prefix, so Replication Manager uses this prefix as a unique name to identify
copy group definition files created by HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business
Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe agent.

P-VOL (primary
volume)

The source volume that is copied to another volume using the volume replication
functionality of a storage system.

property files

Generic term for the files that define the Replication Manager operating
environment. The Replication Manager operating environment can be modified
by changing the appropriate property files.

Access Control
Facility)

RAID Manager

Software used to control volume replication functionality (such as Continuous
Access or Business Copy) by means of commands issued from a host to a storage
system. A command device must be set up in the storage system to enable the
storage system to receive commands from P9000 RAID Manager.
In an open system, Replication Manager uses the P9000 RAID Manager
configuration definition files to modify copy pair configurations and to acquire
configuration information. Copy pair modification processing, such as splitting
and re-synchronizing copy pairs, is executed on the storage system by P9000
RAID Manager.

RCU

Remote Control Unit

refresh

The term

refresh

refers to updating the database that is maintained by

Replication Manager using the most recent information. This database stores
copy pair configuration information and copy pair status information obtained
from Device Manager servers, Device Manager agents, HP StorageWorks P9000
for Business Continuity Manager Software, and P9000 mainframe agent.

remote path

A logical path linking storage systems that is used for remote copying (replication
of volumes between storage systems).

Remote Scan

A volume scan that can be performed on Non Gen'ed volumes outside the site
where HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software
resides. The remote DAD attribute is assigned to the disk configuration definition
file in which the discovered volumes are stored.

Route List

A list that defines the relationship of the connections between the command
devices in storage systems and that indicates the routes of commands issued by
Business Continuity Manager. This list is required for performing operations such
as remote scans by a command device.
