Fire Drill Wizard in an HTC environment is untested in a configuration that uses the same horcm file for both regular and snapshot replication

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
In a Hitachi TrueCopy hardware replication environment, the Fire Drill Wizard has only been tested using two separate horcm files on the secondary site for the snapshot replication. (1703762)
In other words, it has been tested in a configuration with four horcm files as follows:
  • Two matching horcm files on the primary and secondary site used for replication
For example, a horcm10.conf on the primary site and an identical horcm10.conf on the secondary site
  • Two additional horcm files (horcm11.conf and horcm12.conf) on the secondary site, used for the fire drill snapshot replication. The horcm11.conffile is the same as horcm10.conf except that it uses the secondary site IP address.
This configuration has been tested on the following array:
  • Hitachi Thunder 9570 (Micro Code version - 065F/D)
The following snapshot configuration has not been tested and therefore results are unknown:
  • Two matching horcm files (for example, horcm10.conf) on the primary and secondary site used for replication
  • One additional horcm file (horcm11.conf) used along with thehorcm10.conf file on the secondary site for the fire drill snapshot replication
