Example of copy group definition distribution scenario
Prerequisites for distribution destination hosts (copy group definitions)
HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software or P9000 mainframe agent hosts
must satisfy the following conditions to be copy group distribution destination candidates:
• A copy group definition file with the same copy group name must exist on the distribution destin-
ation BCM or P9000 mainframe agent host. The copy group definition file is empty or the copy
group definition file has been distributed.
• The primary and secondary DADIDs defined in the copy group definition file at the origin must
be defined in the copy group definition file at the destination.
• The disk configuration definition files must already be distributed to the distribution destination
host before the copy group definition files can be distributed.
• The distribution destination BCM or P9000 mainframe agent host has required access permissions.
Conditions for changing copy group distribution primary host
The following condition must be satisfied before a copy group distribution primary host can be
changed:
• The copy group definition file must be previously distributed from the primary host by Replication
Manager. (This implies a distribution relationship must already exist between the copy groups.)
The following conditions occur when a copy group distribution primary host is changed:
• Alert monitoring for the copy group by the previous primary host is stopped. To continue alert
monitoring after the primary host is changed, it is necessary to create an alert setting for the copy
group of the new primary host.
• Copy group status is not displayed on the My Copy Groups view. To display the copy group status
after changing the primary host, you must replace the copy group of previous primary host with
that of new primary host on the Edit My Copy Groups window.
