Creating a 1-to-1 Remote Copy configuration

Procedure
  1. On the HPE SSMC main menu, select Remote Copy Configurations under DATA PROTECTION.
  2. Click + Create configuration or select Actions > Create.
  3. Create links and targets between the two storage systems:
    1. Select each system from the drop-down list.
    2. Select a minimum of two RCIP or RCFC ports between each system.
      TIP:

      To see only RCIP or RCFC ports, you can select IP or FC for Show only these port types.

    3. If you selected an incorrect link, select the port and then select Remove link in the Select Action dialog box. Then, click Continue.

    As a best practice, ensure all Remote Copy ports used by a target operate at the same speed.
