CAUTION:
HP strongly recommends that you do not run simulation mode on a production machine (that is, on the same
machine as Command View EVA). If you disconnect the replication manager from Command View EVA, you
lose control of the storage resources that were being managed by the replication manager. If you purge the
replication manager database and have not backed it up, you will lose all jobs.
Overview
Simulation mode allows you to use all of the functions of the replication manager without having to use
any of your production data or resources. These functions include creating snapshots and snapclones,
creating DR groups and adding virtual disks to them, and performing failovers.
Features and benefits:
• No SAN infrastructure, storage arrays, hosts, or management servers are required.
• Requires only replication manager server software running on a business class Windows desktop
or laptop computer.
