10 Managing pair life cycle

Replication Manager allows you to specify copy pair configuration definitions in open systems in
which the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or XP24000/XP20000 and in
mainframe systems where the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or
XP24000/XP20000. Replication Manager also allows you to change the copy pair status in both
open systems and mainframe systems.

You can use the pair configuration and pair life cycle management capabilities of Replication Manager
to create and manage copy pairs. You can also perform daily pair operations and volume replication
using the configured pairs.

This chapter describes tasks for defining copy pairs and performing pair operations.

About pair life cycle management

Replication Manager allows you to create or edit copy pairs (to accommodate increases in job size),
perform volume replication, and change copy pair status after error recovery.

TIP:

For mainframe systems, Replication Manager only supports the pair definition function for creating
a copy pair configuration definition. Mainframe copy pairs are not automatically created after
completion of pair configuration. Mainframe pair creation must be performed using HP StorageWorks
P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software.
