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