Creating a pair of data volumes (Paircreate)
Using the Paircreate pane, the administrator of the primary array must create pairs of primary and
secondary data volumes. When creating a pair, the administrator can specify options for initial copy
activities.
Before creating one or more pairs, the administrator must ensure that:
•
Volumes to be used as secondary data volumes are offline to all hosts.
•
Ports have already been configured (see
).
•
The primary array is associated with the secondary array (see
Associating primary and remote
arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC)
