Replication Manager operations roadmap

The following figure shows the flow of tasks during system configuration, operation, and
maintenance.
  If you want to change the system configuration or the Replication Manager settings during
operation, you should back up the database before and after making any changes. For details on
system configuration, system maintenance, and database backup, see the Hitachi Command Suite
Replication Manager Configuration Guide.

Troubleshooting the replication environment workflow

The following figure shows the flow of troubleshooting.

  By default, alerts are automatically marked as completed when the pair leaves the monitored
status. If the automarking feature has been disabled, the alert must be handled manually. See
Marking alerts as completed for more information.

Marking alerts as completed

 By default, alerts are automatically marked as Completed when a change in status occurs in
the object being monitored. If this feature (known as alert automarking) has been disabled, the
operator must manually mark each alert as completed as described in this topic. See Disabling or
enabling alert automarking for more information.

After you have responded to an alert, you need to mark the alert as completed. Replication
Manager does not start monitoring the target while an alert is still in the Not Complete status. To
restart monitoring, you must mark the alert as completed.

 Once you have marked an alert as Completed, you cannot restore the Not Completed status.

To mark alerts as completed:

1. From the Explorer menu, choose Alerts and then Alerts.

The Alerts subwindow appears.

2. On the Alert List page, select the check boxes of the alerts you want to set as completed,
and then click the Mark as Completed button.

The Mark as Completed dialog box appears.

3. Confirm the alerts that will be set as completed, and then set them as already read.

The number of alerts displayed in the Completed/Not Completed column and Dashboard menu
in the Alerts subwindow is updated.
