Remote Copy network transport methods

Storage systems in a Remote Copy configuration are connected through dedicated links or through a network.

Figure 5: Remote Copy links

Remote Copy supports the following network transports:

  • IP networks

    Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) links two systems over Ethernet ports.

  • Fibre Channel networks

    Remote Copy over Fibre Channel (RCFC) links systems using Fibre Channel ports.

    NOTE:

    RCFC is supported in HPE Primera OS 4.1 or later.

Remote Copy does not support network address translation (NAT) over RCIP.
