Configuring Remote Copy
The HP 3PAR Management Console allows you to setup several different configurations of HP
3PAR Remote Copy, as well as configure Remote Copy ports. The following types of Remote Copy
are supported:
•
1-to-1 Remote Copy – Data is mirrored between two storage systems.
•
1-to-N Remote Copy – A single storage system uses multiple storage systems as backup systems.
•
N-to-1 Remote Copy – Multiple storage systems use the same storage systems as backup
systems.
•
Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy – A single Remote Copy volume group is copied to
volume groups on two other storage systems by admitting the volumes to groups with two
targets. One copy is in synchronous Remote Copy mode, which is updated during each write.
The other copy is in asynchronous periodic Remote Copy mode, and is updated according
to a user-defined schedule.
Use the Remote Copy configuration best suited to your needs. For setup information, refer to the
following sections:
“Configuring Remote Copy Ports” (page 203)
