and then click the Unallocate Volumes button.If you want to unallocate specific volumes, click the

then allocate the volume to another host.
Replicating volumes
This module describes how to replicate volumes.
About replicating volumes (pair management)
Volume replication is used to make copies of critical data. You can make a local copy of a volume
in the same storage system, or make a remote copy of a volume in a different storage system.
P9000 Command View AE Suite uses a light version of Replication Manager which allows you to
perform basic volume replication operations.
To use the complete Replication Manager functionality, you must register a Replication Manager
license and log in to P9000 Command View AE Suite with Replication Manager permissions. When
you register a Replication Manager license, you can use wizards to visualize complex replication
configurations while defining, editing, viewing, and troubleshooting copy pairs.
For more information about how to set up Replication Manager for volume replication, see the HP
P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide and HP Command
View Advanced Edition Software Release Notes.
