HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Application Manager user’s guide 1
1Introduction
This document describes how to use the Storage Mirroring
®
Application Manager interface to create and
validate your application configuration. The Application Manager lets you quickly configure protection for an
application without requiring you to have advanced knowledge of either Storage Mirroring or your
application. The Application Manager works by gathering information about your source and target
environments, then configuring Storage Mirroring to protect the source.
About the Storage Mirroring
®
Application Manager
The Storage Mirroring Application Manager is used to simplify the setup of standard Storage Mirroring
connections. The Application Manager discovers all servers running a designated application in your
environment so that you can determine which servers are not protected. It gathers information about the
environment from various sources (including Storage Mirroring, Active Directory
®
, and DNS) and
automatically configures Storage Mirroring to protect that environment. It also performs a “health check” to
make sure that your configuration is correct. This check not only helps to reduce configuration errors, but it also
simplifies the setup process.
