Creating copy groups
A copy group is created by assigning copy pairs to a pair group. For open systems pair configuration,
copy groups can be created on the 3. Group Management page of the Pair Configuration Wizard.
To create a copy group:
1. Perform the following steps if you are creating a copy pair configuration definition from a saved
workflow:
1. From the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then choose Workflows. A list of saved workflows
is displayed.
2. Select a saved workflow and click the Edit Workflow button.
2. On the 3. Group Management page of the Pair Configuration Wizard, select a pair group, and
then click the Create Group button.
The Create Group dialog box appears.
3. Specify the copy group name and pair management server for the primary and secondary
volumes.
4. Select an existing HORCM instance or specify HORCM related information (instance number
and communication port number) to create a new HORCM instance.
For details about how HORCM instances are managed by Replication Manager, see “ About
HORCM instances ” on page 156.
5. By default, Replication Manager automatically assigns an MU Number, which identifies the
generation number for backup volumes. To change this value, choose another from the drop-down
list.
For more information on the MU Number, see “ Managing generations (replica
rotation) ” on page 365.
6. Click OK to create a new copy group. The created copy group is displayed in the Copy Group
pane.
7. Click Next to continue creating the copy pair configuration definition or click Save to temporarily
save the workflow.
TIP:
If you need to stop the wizard before the copy pair configuration definition is completed, the incomplete
definition can be temporarily saved as a workflow, and then worked on again when the wizard is
restarted. For information on temporarily saving a copy pair configuration definition, see “
Saving
workflows ” on page 173.
