HP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.4.1-00 Configuration Guide (TB584-96064, March 2013)

Description
Software included in sys-
tem components
System components
A management server provides management
information in response to requests from
management clients. Replication Manager and
Device Manager server (a prerequisite program
of Replication Manager) are installed on the
management server.
If multiple sites are used, a management server
is required for each site. Replication Manager
and Device Manager server are installed on the
management server at the local site. Device
Manager server is installed on the management
server at the remote site.
Note: When a remote copy is performed between
sites, the information displayed by the GUI is
limited dependent upon the storage system model.
For details about how the system configuration
limits displayed information, see the HP P9000
Replication Manager Software User Guide.
For communication between a management server
and pair management server, ensure that the
management server and pair management server
can determine each other's IP address from their
host names. If the settings are specified so that
address conversion is performed between the sites
(such as for a private address and NAT),
Replication Manager might not correctly connect
to Device Manager Agents at other sites.

A pair management server collects management
information, including copy pair statuses and
performance information for remote copying.
P9000 RAID Manager and Device Manager
Agent are installed on each pair management
server.
By installing P9000 RAID Manager and Device
Manager Agent, you can manipulate copy pairs
from Replication Manager. The pair management
server must recognize the command device in the
target storage system.
If multiple sites are used, at least one pair
management server is required for each site.
Multiple pair management servers can be set up
at each site.
A pair management server can also be used as
a host. When determining whether to set up pair
management servers to be independent of hosts,
consider security and the loads on the hosts.
For communication between pair management
servers; if you perform a remote copy using
multiple pair management servers, ensure that the
pair management server at the primary site and
the pair management server at the secondary site
can determine the IP address from their respective
host names. If they cannot, an error might occur
during copy pair creation.
