Prerequisites for setting up Remote Copy

Ensure the following requirements are met before setting up your Remote Copy system:

• At least two HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems. You have access to a minimum of two HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems which are supported for Remote Copy.

  See the HPE 3PAR Support Matrix and the HPE 3PAR Operating System Upgrade Planning Guide based on your HPE 3PAR OS version.

• HPE 3PAR All-inclusive Multi-System Software License for all storage systems participating in Remote Copy replication.

  See the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide.

• IP or Fibre Channel networks. The physical connections between all storage systems used with Remote Copy are through an IP-capable network or a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN network.

  See the SAN design Reference Guide at HPE Support: www.hpe.com/support/hpesc.

• Firewall allows traffic. Your firewall allows traffic over the designated Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) only ports, TCP 5785 and 5001.

• Unique IP addresses. All RCIP ports have unique IP addresses. For example: 10.100.32.0, 10.100.32.1, 09.101.90.45.

• SSMC or the HPE 3PAR CLI. You have access to SSMC or the HPE 3PAR CLI.

  This guide covers CLI commands. For SSMC, see the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Management Console 3.1 User Guide.
