7 Organizing resources
In Replication Manager you can organize resources such as hosts and storage systems into logical
sites for easier management. You can also designate frequently monitored resource groups as My
Copy Groups.
This chapter describes different ways to organize resources:
About resources
Resources are entities managed by Replication Manager. These include application servers, storage
systems, and pair management servers that constitute the replication environment. By registering
Device Manager servers, instances of HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager
Software, or instances of P9000 mainframe agent as information sources, you can have Replication
Manager manage the information about the hosts, storage systems, and pair management servers,
plus information about volumes or copy pair definitions contained in any of these hosts, storage
systems, or servers.
The maximum number of resources that can be managed by Replication Manager depends on the
setting specified for the memory heap size (Small, Medium, or Large). For details on the maximum
number of resources that can be managed by Replication Manager, see “
Relationship between
managed resources and memory heap size ” on page 178. To increase the number of managed
resources it is necessary to increase the memory heap size. For details, see the HP StorageWorks
P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
Replication Manager provides the following display formats (views) for viewing resources from a
variety of perspectives:
• Hosts view
• Storage Systems view
• Pair Configurations view
• Applications view
You can use these views to check the status, configuration, and performance of managed copy pairs,
copy groups, or applications.
TIP:
If the copy pair or copy group is part of a cascade configuration, these views can display the status
and configuration of all the related copy pairs or copy groups.
