XP7 Command View AE provides several volume replication solutions based on pair management
requirements and related licensing:

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 XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide
HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition System Requirements
For information about using Replication Manager, see the:
HP XP7 Replication Manager User Guide

If Replication Manager and Performance Advisor are installed and licensed, you can use the
Replication tab to check the C/T delta (time lag) trend between primary and secondary volumes,
and to analyze, then resolve, possible Continuous Access Journal performance bottlenecks.
