RCU Operations
The RCUs are the control units which control the R-VOLs of the TrueCopy for Mainframe pairs. The
RCUs are connected to the MCUs via the remote copy connections and receive and process
commands from the MCUs. For TrueCopy for Mainframe operations, the Remote Web Console
should be installed on a separate LAN at the remote site to allow TrueCopy for Mainframe
commands to be issued directly to the RCU (for example, in case of disaster or failure at the primary
site).
The MCUs are the control units which control the M-VOLs of the pairs. The MCUs receive and
process user-requested TrueCopy for Mainframe commands from the Remote Web Console, and
send the remote copy operations to the RCUs. The MCUs can also function as RCUs, provided the
remote copy connections are properly configured.
The RCU operations are performed separately for each CU of each MCU and RCU to provide
maximum flexibility in TrueCopy for Mainframe configurations. The RCU operations are:
•
Configuring the host interface ports for MCU-RCU connection
•
Adding an RCU
•
Changing the RCU options
•
Adding and deleting logical paths to an RCU
•
Adding and deleting SSIDs for an RCU
•
Viewing RCU status
•
Deleting an RCU
The RCU Operation window allows you to perform the RCU operations. All operations performed
on the RCU Operation window have a common procedure.
To perform any operation on the RCU Operation window:
1.
Click the desired display mode: MCU&RCU, or Port.
2.
Select the desired CU, or channel adapter from the tree.
3.
Select the desired RCU(s) or port(s) from the list. When adding an RCU, do not select anything
from the list.
