Replicating volumes
This module describes how to replicate volumes.
About replicating volumes (pair management)
Volume replication is used to make copies of critical data for volumes allocated to hosts. You can
make a local copy of a volume in the same storage system, or make a remote copy of a volume in a
different storage system.
Device Manager uses a light version of Replication Manager which allows you to perform basic
volume replication operations.
To use the complete Replication Manager functionality, you must register a Replication Manager
license and log in to Command View AE Suite with Replication Manager permissions. When you
register a Replication Manager license, you can use wizards to visualize complex replication
configurations while defining, editing, viewing, and troubleshooting copy pairs.
For more information about how to set up Replication Manager for volume replication, see the HP
P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide and the HP P9000
Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Release Notes.

Adding command devices
A command device supports replication operations by providing a communication channel between
hosts and storage for replication commands.
