HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 125)

Completion criteria Monitored condition
The write latency time must be less than or equal to
the time specified by the user for the alert to be com-
pleted.
Write latency time (C/T delta)
When the status of the copy pair transitions out of the
state specified for the alert.
Copy pair status
When all of the pairs contained in the copy group are
marked Completed. (Even if the status of pairs in the
copy group changes again, the copy group alert re-
mains Completed.)
Copy group status
Alert retention
By default, alerts older than 30 days are routinely deleted regardless of whether they have been
completed. As a result, Not Completed alerts older than 30 days are deleted and a new notification
for the alert is sent during the next scheduled monitoring operation.
Alert limits
You can register a maximum of 1,000 alert settings. You can add monitoring targets to existing alert
settings or edit existing alert settings (including deleting monitoring targets). If you specify multiple
monitoring targets for a single alert, the total number of targets specified for all alerts cannot exceed
1,000. Templates can be used to specify alert settings (useful when specifying the same settings for
many targets). You can register a maximum of 10 templates.
To reduce performance impact, the maximum number of detected pairs and pairs listed in an alert
(or email notification) for a copy group is 10, displayed in ascending order of source IDs. When the
number of pairs is greater than 10, the notice
More than 10 pairs were detected is displayed
in the output.
TIP:
Note the following:
• The best practice is to configure alert settings before starting Replication Manager operations -
either during initial setup or during re-configuration. If you set alerts or edit alert settings, HP re-
commends that you perform a test before starting operation to make sure that the alerts are sent
normally. See “
Testing alert settings ” on page 323 for more information.
• If you use email or SNMP traps to send alerts, you can monitor the copy pair status and perform-
ance even when you are not logged in to Replication Manager.
• If you re-create a copy pair with volumes whose primary-secondary relationship is the opposite
of that of the original copy pair, the new copy pair is no longer recognized as the same copy
pair. If a copy pair included in the alert settings is re-created in this way, no alert is sent for the
copy pair. To avoid this, remove the copy pair from the alert settings, and then re-register the
copy pair.
About the Create Alert Setting Wizard
The Create Alert Setting Wizard allows you to configure alert settings to monitor the pair status or
the performance information.
