D Remote command devices
This appendix describes how to use remote command devices as command devices.
Overview of remote command devices
A remote command device is a device in the local storage system to which a command device in
the external storage system is mapped.
As you send the RAID Manager commands to the remote command device, you can enter these
RAID Manager commands to the command device of the external storage system to operate the
RAID Manager in the external storage system.
The following figure shows an example. The OPEN host that is connected to the local storage
system sends the RAID Manager commands of Business Copy or Continuous Access Synchronous
to the remote command device, and this means that the commands are entered to the command
device in the external storage system to operate the Business Copy pair or the Continuous Access
Synchronous pair in the external storage system.
For detailed information about RAID Manager and the command device, see the HP P9000 RAID
Manager Installation and Configuration User Guide.
