GUI and job engine
The GUI allows you to:
•
View all available resources in tabular lists, graphical tree views, and topology views. See
About replication resources .
•
Perform actions on resources.
•
Create jobs using the integrated job editor and job templates.
•
Validate job task logic and syntax before running a job.
•
Monitor job progress and view detailed job activity logs.
•
Configure the replication manager.
•
View replication manager events and logs.
For a visual overview, see GUI window .
Replication manager database
The server software includes an internal database of available resources, jobs, job instances, and
replication manager events. See
About the RSM database .
The database can be exported and imported allowing you to:
•
Backup and restore the database.
•
Copy the database to other instances of the replication manager. This is especially useful in
remote replication environments with multiple management server.
CLUI server
The server software also includes a CLUI server application which supports several types of command
line style CLUI clients. See CLUI overview.
Host agent software
A replication manager host agent is OS-specific software that enables interactions between a host
and the replication manager server. A host that has a replication manager host agent installed is
called an enabled host. See
Enabled and standard hosts .
A host agent allows you to:
•
Perform replication by specifying the host and host volume name.
•
Mount virtual disks on the host without rebooting the host (dynamic mount).
•
Dynamically extend or shrink a host volume.
•
Suspend and resume application I/O on the host.
•
Launch (run) applications on the host.
•
Interact with database, backup, and other applications.
•
View host properties, such as: operating systems, file systems, logical volume managers, cluster
software, multipathing software and Fibre Channel HBAs.
CLUI remote client
Host agents also include a CLUI remote client that you can use to run replication manager CLUI
commands from the host's command line.
CLUI software
The replication manager includes a CLUI server and client in the server software and a CLUI remote
client in the host agent software.
