Physically connecting the RCIP ports between storage systems
Physically cable the RCIP ports between storage systems. This procedure describes the minimum cabling for a 2-node system to another 2-node system.
TIP:
Create a diagram of the physical Remote Copy configuration.
Prerequisites
Procured a supported network cable.
Procedure
Site 1
-
For the first node (for example, Node 0):
- Insert one end of the fiber optic cable on the RCIP port.
- Insert the other end of the fiber optic cable into an SFP port on a network IP switch.
-
For the second node (for example, Node 1):
- Insert one end of the fiber optic cable on the RCIP port.
- Insert the other end of the fiber optic cable into an SFP port on another network IP switch.
Site 2
- Repeat this procedure for Site 2.
