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 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 or laptop computer. • 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, 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, datafiles, archived redo logs, control files, and repositories. Licenses License displays License information is displayed in the GUI. See the following table. If the licenses summary indicates an issue, you can use the License Events pane to identify the affected storage array. Then, you can review the affected array's license information in the Storage Properties window. 66 Replication resources
