Pinging RCIP Links
When creating RCIP links, you can configure and ping the link ports to confirm their validity and
communication.
When pinging RCIP link ports:
•
Select Details in the Port Configuration or Ping dialog boxes to show or hide details about the
configuration or ping operation.
•
If the MTU value of the ports is not the same, the lower packet size is used during the ping
operation.
•
If both ports' MTU values are 9000, Jumbo Ping is displayed as the Ping group box title.
Configuring and Pinging the Remote Copy Links
After entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link creation, click
Apply to confirm its validity and proceed with the ping the operation to verify communication
between the link ports. The ping is not executed if the configuration fails.
Pinging the Remote Copy Links
After entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link creation, click
Ping to ping the operation on the entered link ports.
Managing Remote Copy Targets
Remote Copy target definitions are descriptors on one Remote Copy system that identify another
a Remote Copy system. In a Remote Copy server pair, the systems are each defined as targets,
relative to each other, for Remote Copy operations. The HP 3PAR Management Console allows
you to perform the following operations:
“Creating Remote Copy Targets” (page 221)
“Editing Remote Copy Targets” (page 223)
“Removing Remote Copy Targets” (page 224)
Creating Remote Copy Targets
You can add Remote Copy targets to existing Remote Copy configurations.
•
If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you effectively create
a 1-to-N, or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration.
•
If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-N or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you are
adding an additional backup or primary target, respectively.
•
You cannot add new targets to an SLD Remote Copy configuration.
•
The following restrictions apply:
A 1-to-N Remote Copy configuration can have a maximum of two backup systems. ◦
◦ In an N-to-1 Remote Copy relationship, a maximum of four primary (source) systems use
the same system as backup server.
◦ In order to configure SLD Remote Copy, at least two of the systems must have Fibre
Channel ports. The synchronous connection must be a Fibre Channel connection, while
the periodic connection can be either all Fibre Channel (over an IP network) or all IP.
Only unidirectional functionality is allowed between Remote Copy pairs.
To create a Remote Copy target:
1.
Select Remote Copy in the Manager Pane.
2. Select the Remote Copy Configuration node in the Management Tree.
