About configuration definition file formats
New configuration definition files (HORCM configuration files) can be generated in either
HORCM_LDEV format or HORCM_DEV format. Replication Manager allows you to specify the format
for new configuration definition files using the
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm and
server.agent.rm.cuLdevForm properties in the Device Manager agent server.properties
file. (For detailed property file descriptions, see the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition
Administrator Guide.)
By default, new configuration definition files are generated in the HORCM_DEV format. To change
the default format to HORCM_LDEV, set the value of
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm
to HORCM_LDEV .

To maintain consistency of configuration definition file formats, Replication Manager does not allow
creation of configuration definition files with mixed formats. However, Replication Manager supports
pre-existing configuration definition files that have mixed formats. When new copy pairs are added
to an existing copy group, Replication Manager confirms the existing file format of the configuration
definition file and applies the same format for the new copy pairs. If new copy pairs are added to a
pre-existing configuration definition file that has mixed formats (HORCM_LDEV and HORCM_DEV
formats), Replication Manager determines the format for the new copy pairs using the
server.agent.rm.pairDefinitionForm property in the Device Manager agent
server.properties file.
CAUTION:
Specify HORCM_LDEV format when you manage copy pairs using a virtual ID. If you manage copy
pairs using a virtual ID and you create a pair that consists of HP P9500 and XP7, or consists of XP7
and XP24000/XP20000, use a physical ID to define primary and secondary configuration definition
files.
Default location of configuration definition files
The default location of configuration definition files is determined as follows:
In Windows: The system folder indicated by the %WINDIR% environment variable.
In UNIX: the /etc directory.
To change the folder or directory, edit the value of the
server.agent.rm.horcmSource
property
of the server.properties file.
If you manage the replica (create or restore) in Windows, you must place the configuration definition
file in the Windows system folder.
