47 Working with 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 InForm Management Console allows you
to perform the following:
“Creating Remote Copy Targets” (page 269)
“Editing Remote Copy Targets” (page 270)
“Removing Remote Copy Targets” (page 270)
Creating Remote Copy Targets
You can add Remote Copy targets to your existing Remote Copy configuration(s).
•
If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you will 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 will
be adding an additional backup or primary target, respectively.
•
You cannot add new targets to a Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy configuration.
•
The following restrictions apply:
For the current release, 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 Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy, at least two of the systems
must have Fibre Channel ports. The synchronous connection must be a Fibre Channel
connection, while the asynchronous 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.
Access the Remote Copy Targets screen.
2. Right-click the system for which you wish to create a new Remote Copy target, and then select
Create Target.
The Create Remote Copy Target wizard appears.
Step 1. Targets
1. Click a storage system graphic. In the menu that appears, select a storage system to assign.
NOTE: Only available systems appear.
2. (Optional) Under Update System's Location, enter a location for each storage server, e.g. Lab
1, New York.
3. (Optional) Under Name Targets, the Target Name fields are automatically populated with the
storage server names. You can enter an alternate name if you wish.
4. Click Next.
Step 2. Links
1. A graphical representation of each system's Remote Copy ports appears under Create Links.
Click and drag from one port on one system to a port on the other system. Repeat for the other
Remote Copy ports.
