About the Pair Configuration Wizard
Replication Manager includes a Pair Configuration Wizard for defining pair structures and managing
the entire topology of the desired pair structure from a single window. The wizard also allows you to
manage primary and secondary devices independently and helps avoid creation of invalid
configurations.
The Pair Configuration Wizard includes the following:
1. Topological view
This view provides an intuitive graphical representation of the relationships between copy groups
and allows you to specify complex pair structures easily.
2. Volume Filters
Criteria filters such as Site, Hosts, Storage System and Logical groups as filtering attributes quickly
narrows the selection of candidate volumes.
The Pair Configuration Wizard provides graphical views for performing the following operations:
• Create a copy pair or copy group.
• Add a copy pair to an existing copy group.
• Add a new pair group to an existing copy group.
• Delete a copy pair in an existing copy group.
• Delete an existing copy group.
• Adding and deleting redundant pair management server nodes
When the wizard finishes processing, tasks and a workflow are registered automatically. A task is
created for each copy group, and a workflow is created as a set of related tasks. When you create
or edit copy pair configuration definitions, you can specify the execution schedule for the registered
tasks and also edit or cancel registered tasks. You can also interrupt the Pair Configuration Wizard
and temporarily save the incomplete definition as a workflow. You can then restart the wizard to
continue work on the saved workflow. A temporarily saved workflow can also be used so an
application server administrator can complete a definition started by a storage system administrator.
