TIP:
You cannot edit user-specified parameters such as copy group name, port number and instance
number after the copy pair configuration definitions are created using the Pair Configuration Wizard.
If these parameters need to be edited, it is necessary to manually modify the copy pair configuration
definitions outside of Replication Manager.
A number of conditions can affect the copy pair configuration definition settings. Before you use the
Pair Configuration Wizard to edit a copy pair configuration definition, check the conditions described
in the following topics:
• Copy pair configuration conditions
• Storage system conditions for pair configuration definition
• Copy type requirements for pair configuration definitions
• Prerequisites for changing copy pair configuration (mainframe systems)
In mainframe systems, you cannot delete or edit all pairs that are already in an existing copy group.
This restriction prevents deletion of copy groups with distribution relationships. For details of conditions
that disrupt copy group linkage, see “
Conditions that disrupt copy group distribution
CAUTION:
Observe the following precautions:
•
While a copy pair configuration definition is being edited, do not use storage system operation
management software to perform operations on a volume, copy group, or copy pair specified in
that definition. Doing so might cause errors when Replication Manager executes tasks.
•
If you have specified the instance number in the
server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance
property of the
server.properties
file of the Device Manager agent running on the pair
management server, you cannot modify the applicable configuration definition file, nor can you
change the status of the copy pair that is defined in that configuration definition file. For details
about the
server.agent.rm.exclusion.instance
property, see the
HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.

Prerequisites for changing copy pair configuration (mainframe systems)
The following are prerequisite settings for using Replication Manager to change a copy pair
configuration for mainframe systems:
•
A dataset must be allocated for the disk configuration definition file on BCM
•
A dataset must be allocated for the copy group definition file on BCM
•
A route list must be set when using a remote command device
•
BCM initialization parameters (Gen'ed DADID, Non Gen'ed DADID, Remote DADID and a prefix
corresponding to each DADID) must be set
