Features

• Quickly determines all the associated pairs/groups of selected resources
• Quickly identifies potential problems
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and e-mail alert mechanisms
• Monitors the use of replication side files or journals
• Easily oversees open and mainframe configurations
• Provides an enhanced topological-like view of user-selected copy groups
• Numbers provided for open and mainframe groups
• Lets customers more easily plan, report and manage the currency of their replicated data

Replication Monitor software now provides an enhanced topological-like view of user-selected copy groups:

• The "My Copy Groups" feature allows administrators to create their own topological view of the replicated environments. In addition, users get an immediate visual summary of complex replication environments.
• Replication Monitor software now supports a common graphical user interface (GUI), fully integrating the software in the HiCommand framework.

In a replicated infrastructure, it is critical that customers understand how far "behind" their remote data is. Replication Monitor Software now allows customers to monitor this lag with a very high level of granularity:

• Numbers are provided for both open and mainframe groups.
• Historical data is available for download, allowing customers to more easily plan, report and manage the currency of their replicated data.

Benefits

• Provides centralized management of Hitachi Universal Replicator, Hitachi TrueCopy™ Remote Replication, Hitachi ShadowImage™ In-System Replication, and Hitachi Copy-on-Write Snapshot software.
• Monitors data currency and recovery points for both open and mainframe environments.
• Offers advanced replication system status reporting to provide early warnings for potential problems.
• Offers built-in capabilities for monitoring and managing replicated volumes for active problem avoidance.
• Delivers discovery of enterprise-wide storage configuration and replication objects, eliminating tedious, error-prone data entry that can cause outages.
• Reduces reconciliation time of pair management outages.
