Database and backup servers: To manage database replicas, the system requires two servers: a
database server that manages the primary volume, and a backup server with the secondary
volume. Installing Application Agent on both servers allows Replication Manager to create and
restore replicas between the primary volume on the database server and the secondary volume
on the backup server.
•
Storage system: An external storage device (HP StorageWorks XP disk array storage system)
connected to a host. Copy pairs are typically set up on the volumes in the storage systems using
volume replication functionality. Replication Manager manages the configuration and copy status
of these copy pairs. Storage system information is provided to Replication Manager by the following
methods:
• The management server collects the storage system information directly.
• The pair management server collects the storage system information and provides it to the
management server.
