HP XP Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 75)

• This section addresses using a basic version of Replication Manager (included with the Device
Manager license) that provides for common pair management tasks (for example, create a pair)
using the Actions menu, Manage Replication.
• To use full Replication Manager functionality from the Tools menu, you must register a Replication
Manager license, and launch Replication Manager with a user account that has Replication
Manager permissions. You can use wizards to visualize complex replication configurations while
defining, editing, viewing, and troubleshooting copy pairs.
For information about setting up Replication Manager, see the:
• HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide
• HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software System Requirements
For information about using Replication Manager, see the:
• HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Replication Manager Users Guide
