1 Introduction HP StorageWorks D2D Replication Manager (Replication Manager) is a standalone software application that provides basic management capabilities in a replication environment, and provides an easy way for customers to manage up to 300 D2D devices that are being replicated across multiple sites. Using Replication Manager, administrators create, manage, and remove groups of devices; and establish and control user and administrator access to the groups and devices. Replication Manager allows administrators and users to review the status of the groups and devices to which they have access, either to ensure that replication is happening successfully and on schedule, or to respond when there are replication operation errors. Replication Manager also provides the ability to monitor disk usage and deduplication ratios for the devices. This allows administrators the ability to identify devices that may need additional capacity. Trend analysis is also available to look at disk capacity changes that occur on devices over a pre-determined period. Replication Manager Environment Install Replication Manager software on a computer having a Microsoft Windows operating system that has network connectivity through which it can communicate with all the D2D Devices to be managed. All the required components are installed as a part of D2D Replication Management software installation. Minimum Requirements System requirements for installing Replication Manager are as follows: Server-side requirements: • Supported Windows platforms (See "Compatibility" (page 4) for acceptable operating systems.) • Standard LAN connectivity (for web-browser based GUI access) • Initial 200 MB disk space for installation. (More space will be required as the system expands.) • Internet Explorer v 6.0 or higher OR Mozilla FireFox v3.5 or higher Client-side requirements: • Internet Explorer v6.0 or higher, or Mozilla FireFox v3.5 or higher • Adobe Flash plug-in v10.0 or higher • Screen resolution 1024 x 768 or higher D2D firmware requirements • On a D2D4004i/D2D4009i, firmware v101.751 or higher • On a D2D4004fc/D2D4009fc, firmware v101.747 or higher • On a D2D4112, firmware v101.750 or higher Compatibility Replication Manager is compatible with the following hardware and software: Hardware Devices • D2D devices 250x, 400x, 41xx, and 43xx Operating Systems • Windows 2000 • Windows 2003 x32 • Windows XP x32 4 Introduction

1 Introduction
HP StorageWorks D2D Replication Manager (Replication Manager) is a standalone software
application that provides basic management capabilities in a replication environment, and provides
an easy way for customers to manage up to 300 D2D devices that are being replicated across
multiple sites. Using Replication Manager, administrators create, manage, and remove groups of
devices; and establish and control user and administrator access to the groups and devices.
Replication Manager allows administrators and users to review the status of the groups and devices
to which they have access, either to ensure that replication is happening successfully and on
schedule, or to respond when there are replication operation errors. Replication Manager also
provides the ability to monitor disk usage and deduplication ratios for the devices. This allows
administrators the ability to identify devices that may need additional capacity. Trend analysis is
also available to look at disk capacity changes that occur on devices over a pre-determined period.
Replication Manager Environment
