Setting up the RM instance configuration file

Each BC and CA pair has a primary volume (P-VOL), the volume that
contains the data to be copied, and a secondary volume (S-VOL), the
volume that receives the data from the primary volume. Each of these
volumes is linked to at least one instance of RM for the purpose of pair
creation, suspension, and deletion. Each instance of RM can manage
multiple volumes (on up to four arrays) and manage either P-VOLs or
S-VOLs.

Reminder: Instances can be on the same or different host systems. The
host that is running the instance must have access to the volumes to which
it is linked and have access to a disk array command device for the array.

The RM instance configuration file defines the link between a volume and
an RM instance. This file also defines the relationships between RM
instances and the physical and logical names for volumes.

The RM instance configuration file is a UNIX text file. The system
administrator creates it using a text editor. A sample HORCM_CONF file
is provided. The system administrator copies the sample file, changes
necessary parameters, and saves the copied file under the specified
directory. Formatting and editing procedures follow.
