Groups
1. In the Source group:
a.
System - Select the system on which the Remote Copy group will be located.
b. (Optional) Domain - Select the domain in which the Remote Copy group will be located.
c. Group - Enter a name for the Remote Copy group.
d. (Optional) Start group after completion - Select if you want the Remote Copy group to
start mirroring after it is created.
e. (Optional) Perform initial sync - Select if you want the created Remote Copy group to be
synchronized with its backup group. If both sides are not synchronized, it could lead to
data inconsistency. (This option is available if Show tape backup options in Remote Copy
wizards was selected in the Preferences.)
2. In the Backup group:
a.
Name - The systems NOT selected as the source system, automatically appear.
b. Mode - Select Periodic or Synchronous.
c. Sync Period - (Available for Periodic mode only.) If you selected Periodic, select this
checkbox and select second(s), minute(s), hour(s), or day(s) and enter a numeric value
for when you want the source and backup groups to synchronize their data.
d. (Optional) Auto Recover - Select if you want the group to be restarted automatically after
Remote Copy links come back up should the links go down. (Displayed only if Show
advanced options is selected.)
e. (Optional) Over Period Alert - Select if you want an alert to be generated if the
synchronization of a periodic group takes longer than its set synchronization period. This
option is not available for groups in synchronous mode. (Displayed only if Show advanced
options is selected.)
3. Click Add.
4. (Optional) Repeat steps 1 through 3 to create additional Remote Copy groups.
NOTE: When creating additional groups, if you select a server other than the server selected
during the first instance of group creation, you create a bidirectional Remote Copy relationship
where each storage server is both the primary and backup servers to the other. For 1-to-N
Remote Copy, you can only create a bidirectional configuration for one Remote Copy group
pair.
