• You can use the GUI or CLUI.
Procedures
• DR groups . See low-level refreshing DR groups .
• Enabled hosts . See low-level refreshing enabled hosts .
• Virtual disks . See low-level refreshing virtual disks .
Selection of multiple resources
When performing an action from the GUI, HP recommends selecting only a few resources at one time.
Selecting a large number of resources at once can cause slow response times.
For example, when deleting several virtual disks, it may appear to take a few seconds in the GUI.
However, deleting 50 virtual disks may take several minutes. The slower response can be misinterpreted
as a problem.
Simulation mode
For more information, see the HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager Simulation guide . The
guide is available from the help menu of the replication manager GUI and from the HP Storage web site.
See “ Helpful web sites ” on page 19.
CAUTION:
HP strongly recommends that you do not run simulation mode on a production machine (that is, on the same
machine as Command View EVA). If you disconnect the replication manager from Command View EVA, you
lose control of the storage resources that were being managed by the replication manager. If you purge the
replication manager database and have not backed it up, you will lose all jobs.
Overview
Simulation mode allows you to use all of the functions of the replication manager without having to use
any of your production data or resources. These functions include creating snapshots and snapclones,
creating DR groups and adding virtual disks to them, and performing failovers.
Features and bene
fi ts:
• No SAN infrastructure, storage arrays, hosts, or management servers are required.
• Requires only replication manager server software running on a business class Windows desktop
or laptop computer.
• True simulation – not a set of prede fi ned scenarios. Simulates GUI actions, jobs, and CLUI
commands.
• Allows you to create your own:
• Simulated storage arrays. Select features such as array capacity, software controller versions
and number of virtual disks.
• Simulated hosts. Include hosts and select the storage arrays they are connect to.
• Simulated Oracle databases. Simulate Oracle databases, tablespaces, data
fi les, archived
redo logs, control fi les, and repositories.
