• To use the local replication features on a given array, the replication manager verifies that a valid HP Business Copy EVA replication license-to-use (LTU) exists for the array. For information on acquiring and installing local replication licenses, see the HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA administrator guide. Remote replication Remote replication is a licensed feature of HP StorageWorks arrays that allows you to create remote, 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. • Continuous Access EVA is the HP brand name for the set of features, replication licenses, and interfaces for remote replication on EVA arrays. • Remote replication features are part of (installed with) the controller software on each storage array and can vary with the controller software version. See controller software features - remote replication. • To use the remote replication features on a given pair of arrays, the replication manager verifies that a valid HP Continuous Access EVA replication license-to-use (LTU) exists for each array. For information on acquiring and installing remote replication licenses, see the HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA administrator guide. Server software The replication manager server software includes a graphical user interface (GUI) and job engine, a database, and a command line user interface (CLUI). GUI and job engine The GUI allows you to: • View all available resources in tabular lists, graphical tree views, and topology views. See about replication resources. • Perform actions on resources. • Create jobs using the integrated job editor and job templates. • Validate job task logic and syntax before running a job. • Monitor job progress and view detailed job activity logs. • Configure the replication manager. • View replication manager events and logs. For a visual overview, see GUI window. Replication manager database The server software includes an internal database of available resources, jobs, job instances, and replication manager events. See about the RSM database. The database can be exported and imported allowing you to: • Backup and restore the database. • Copy the database to other instances of the replication manager. This is especially useful in remote replication environments with multiple management server. CLUI server The server software also includes a CLUI server application which supports several types of command line style CLUI clients. See CLUI overview. 26 Replication Solutions Manager
