2 Replication resources Working with resources Best practices for automatic refresh The refresh of storage systems information during an automatic refresh can take a significant amount of time and place heavy demands on the management server and storage systems. See refreshing resources (automatic). Depending on the circumstances, administrators may want to adjust the replication managers's automatic refresh interval. See configuration, setting the refresh period. Typical circumstances include: • If other applications are using the same storage arrays, or are installed on the same management server, a short discovery and database refresh interval may slow the performance of the storage arrays or management server. In this case, consider a longer period. • If the storage configuration is large, or there are delays in the environment, discovery and database refresh can take a long time and may slow the replication manager. In this case, consider a longer interval. • If you are configuring an environment or performing testing, the default discovery and database refresh interval may be too long for changes to be reflected quickly. In this case, consider temporarily setting the interval to a few minutes. • If you are only monitoring storage, the default discovery and database refresh interval may be shorter than required. In this case, consider setting the interval to several hours. Copying properties Select a resource's properties and copy them to another window or application. Considerations • You can copy a single property, multiple adjacent properties, or all properties in a window or window section. See copying properties tips. • The entire property is copied. Except for comments, you cannot copy individual words or characters in a property. • The copy-properties feature is not available in Configuration windows or the Licensing tab in the Storage Systems Properties window. Procedure 1. Open the window from which to copy properties. See viewing properties for: DR groups, enabled hosts, host volumes, jobs, managed sets, Oracle, storage systems and virtual disks. See also Editing DR group properties. 2. Select the properties and press Ctrl+C. The properties are copied to the clipboard (Windows) or similar memory area (other OSs). 3. Open the window or application in which to paste the properties, navigate to the appropriate location and press Ctrl+V. The properties are pasted. Copying properties - tips Each procedure below is completed by pressing Ctrl+C to copy the selection. HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 4.0.1 57
