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).
HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions M anager

General replication management
• Automatically discover resources such as arrays, virtual disks, and hosts. See
automatic refresh of resources.
• View resource properties in g raphical trees and tabular lists. For example, see virtual disk views
• Create and manage copies of data (replicas) in real time.
• Create, run, monitor, and manage jobs that automate replication tasks. See
jobs, templates and commands.
• 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 ap plications on enabled hosts *.
• Create and manage collections of resources (managed sets). See m anaged sets.
• View replication event logs.
• Run the replication manager in a resource simulation mode. See simulation mode.

disaster-tolerant copies of your data using the array’s replication engine. Remote copies are created
and managed through the use of DR group pairs.

• Interact with database, backup, and other applications.
• View host properties, such as: operating systems, file systems, logical volume managers, cluster
software, multipathing software and Fibre Channel HBAs.
CLUI remote client
Host agents also include a CLUI remote client that you can use to run replication manager CLUI
commands from the host’s command line.
CLUI software
The replication manager includes a CLUI server and client in the server software and a CLUI remote
client in the host agent software.

• Issue CLUI commands and run scripts from CLUI clients
• Run jobs and manage job instances from CLUI clients.
• Use job return codes for conditional interactions between jobs and scripts.

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 benefits:
• No SAN infrastructure, storage arrays, hosts, or management servers are required.
• Requires only replication manager server software running on a business class Windows desktop

• True simulation – not a set of predefined scenarios. Simulates GUI actions, jobs, and CLUI
commands.
• Allows you to create your own:
• Simulated storage arrays. Select features such as array capacity, controller software 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, datafiles, archived
redo logs, control files, and repositories.
