Overview

Capabilities

HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager is a centralized tool that simplifies and automates local
and remote replication features of HP arrays. The replication manager allows you to perform tasks by
using its graphical user interface (GUI), jobs, and a command line user interface (CLUI).
General replication management
• Automatically discover resources such as arrays, virtual disks, and hosts. See
automatic refresh of resources.
• View resource properties in graphical trees and tabular lists. For example, see
• Create and manage copies of data (replicas) in real time.
• Create, run, monitor, and manage jobs that automate replication tasks. See
jobs, templates and
• Present storage volumes to hosts.
• Dynamically mount storage volumes containing file systems on enabled hosts *.
• Dynamically extend or shrink a host volume on enabled hosts*.
• Interact with host applications on enabled hosts *.
• Interact with Oracle applications on enabled hosts *.
• Create and manage collections of resources (managed sets). See
• View replication event logs.
• Run the replication manager in a resource simulation mode. See
* Requires an HP Replication Solutions Manager

Local replication

• Create local copies using snapclone and snapshot technology. See
• Create local copies by specifying source arrays and virtual disk names.
• Create local copies by specifying source enabled hosts and volume names *.
• Create local copies by specifying source enabled hosts and logical volume names *.
• Create local copies by specifying Oracle resources on enabled hosts *.
* Requires an HP Replication Solutions Manager
Remote replication
• Create, configure, and manage DR groups (remote copies). See
• Reverse (fail over) remote replication direction. See DR group failover.
• Manage remote replication. See
Local replication
Local replication is a licensed feature of HP StorageWorks arrays that allows you to quickly create local
copies of your data using the array's replication engine. These copies are known as mirrorclones,
snapclones and snapshots.
• Business Copy EVA is the HP brand name for the set of features, replication licenses, and
interfaces for local replication on EVA arrays.
• Local replication features are part of (installed with) the controller software on each storage array
and can vary with the controller software version. See
commands.
