Associating the Primary and the Remote Storage Systems and Configuring
Logical Paths (Add DKC)
The Add DKC window (see
) allows you to associate the primary storage
system and the secondary storage system, and also allows you to establish logical paths between
the two storage systems. Logical paths are used to connect the primary and secondary storage
systems. Both the primary storage system and the secondary storage system use logical paths to
communicate with each other.
One primary storage system can be associated with up to 64 secondary storage systems. Up to
eight logical paths can be configured between one primary storage system and one secondary
storage system. Therefore, one primary storage system can have up to 512 logical paths to
secondary storage systems.
To associate the primary and secondary storage systems and then configure logical paths between
the two storage systems, both the primary storage system administrator and the secondary storage
system administrator must perform this operation:
1.
Make sure the remote copy connections and ports are properly configured. Also, get the serial
number of the remote storage system.
To get the serial number of the remote storage system, ask the administrator of the remote
storage system. The serial number will be displayed in the XP Remote Web Console main
window when the XP Remote Web Console user logs into the storage system.
2.
Ensure that the XP Remote Web Console main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, see the XP Remote Web Console user's guide.
3.
Ensure that the DKC Operation window is displayed.
4.
In Display, select DKC.

system is XP12000/XP10000/SVS 200 Disk Array.
•
the controller ID of the remote storage system (model name that indicates the model)
NOTE:
The controller ID for an XP storage system is 4.
•
the path group ID
The path group ID is within the range of 1-FF (hexadecimal). Up to 64 path group IDs
can be registered per storage system. In the current version, the path group IDs always
take the default values and cannot be changed
8.
In the Add DKC window, select a primary storage system port and a remote storage system
port to configure a logical path.
9.
Select Option.
10.
In the DKC Option window, configure logical path options and storage system options.
