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

, page 147

Storage system conditions for pair configuration definition

, page 148

Copy type requirements for pair configuration definitions

, page 160

Prerequisites for changing copy pair configuration (mainframe systems)

, page 177

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

relationships

” on page 172.

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.
