About distributing copy group definitions
Replication Manager supports the distribution of copy group configuration definition files to alternate
hosts. This capability enables uninterrupted pair management in the event of disaster at the primary
site. During pair configuration using the Pair Configuration Wizard, you can select Mainframe hosts
from a list of alternate host candidates identified by Replication Manager. Upon completion of pair
configuration, Replication Manager distributes the copy group list created during pair configuration
to these distribution targets.
The following two types of copy group definition file distribution are possible:
•
Normal distribution: Distribution of copy group definition file from the user-selected BCM or P9000
mainframe agent host to the target BCM or P9000 mainframe agent host. The copy group
definition file is distributed to all hosts that satisfy the distribution prerequisites. For details of copy
group distribution prerequisites, see “
Prerequisites for distribution destination hosts (copy group
” on page 176. The copy group definition file can be distributed to multiple destination
hosts (targets). This distribution occurs when the Distribute the configuration to all the candidates
of primary host when creating the file check box is selected in the Edit Group window.
•
Pre-distribution: Distribution of the latest copy group definition file from the current primary host
to the copy group that will be the next primary host. The file can be distributed to only one user-
selected primary host (destination). This distribution occurs when the primary host is being changed
and the copy group definition of the original primary host does not match the copy group definition
of the new primary host. For details, see “
