HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.2 User Guide
8. The Replica Options tab can be used to set the following:
• For database servers: Protection Status Options (to set the status of old replicas to “Critical”),
Replica Task Options (to define the behavior when a task fails), and Email Options (for noti-
fication of task status).
• For backup servers: Replica Task Options (to prevent the backup server from accessing
mounted replicas and control whether secondary volumes are concealed from the backup
server) and VSS Options (to enable multiple servers to perform verifications as described in
“Parallel verification count and number of backup servers” on page 66).
TIP:
For backup servers, after creating copy pairs be sure to set the Conceal Replicas option. If
concealment is disabled, the pair information of all instances managed by the backup server
is visible. Therefore, if you want to disable concealment to stop parts of the backup operation,
disable concealment, delete the copy pairs, then re-enable concealment of remaining
volumes.
9. Click OK when your choices are complete.
A dialog box summarizing all the tab settings is displayed.
10. Check the settings that will be applied and click Confirm.
Replication Manager then configures the parameters on the physical servers or cluster nodes, and
discovers the application resources on the server or active node of the cluster.

About concealing/revealing replica volumes
Replica operations support the use of multiple generations (copies) of application replicas. In this
scenario, copy pairs are created where a single primary volume is linked to multiple secondary
volumes. These secondary volumes must be concealed (hidden) from the backup server, or they will
