6 Remote Command Devices
This chapter describes remote command device.
Overview of Remote Command Devices
A remote command device is a device in the local storage system to which a command device in the
external storage system is mapped.
As you send the RAID Manager commands to the remote command device, you can enter these RAID
Manager commands to the command device of the external storage system to operate the RAID Manager
in the external storage system.
on page 100 shows an example. The OPEN host that is connected to the local storage system
sends the RAID Manager commands of Business Copy or Continuous Access to the remote command
device, and this means that the commands are entered to the command device in the external storage
system to operate the Business Copy pair or the Continuous Access pair in the external storage system.
For detailed information about RAID Manager and the command device, see the HP StorageWorks XP
RAID Manager User’s Guide.
