128 Chapter 3 Preparing for CCI Operations
3.2 Hardware Installation
Installation of the hardware required for CCI is performed by the user and the Hitachi Data
Systems representative. To install the hardware required for CCI operations:
1. User:
a) Identify the Hitachi TrueCopy and/or ShadowImage primary and secondary volumes,
so that the CCI hardware and software components can be installed and configured
properly.
b) Make sure that the UNIX/PC server hardware and software are properly installed and
configured (see section 3.1 for configuration requirements for Hitachi TrueCopy).
2. Hitachi Data Systems representative:
a) Connect the RAID storage system(s) to the UNIX/PC server host(s). Please refer to
the Maintenance Manual and the Configuration Guide for the platform (e.g.,
Microsoft Windows Configuration Guide, IBM AIX Configuration Guide).
b) Install and enable the Hitachi TrueCopy and ShadowImage features on the RAID
storage system(s).
c) Configure the RAID storage systems which will contain the Hitachi TrueCopy and/or
ShadowImage primary volumes to report sense information to the host(s).
d) Set the SVP clock to local time so the TrueCopy/ShadowImage time stamps will be
correct.
e) Hitachi TrueCopy only: install the remote copy connections between the TrueCopy
main and remote control units (MCUs and RCUs). For detailed information on
installing the TrueCopy remote copy connections, please refer to the Hitachi
TrueCopy User and Reference Guide for the storage system.
3. User and Hitachi Data Systems Rep: Ensure that the storage systems are accessible via
Storage Navigator. For older storage systems, install, configure, and connect the Remote
Console PC to the storage systems. Enable the applicable options (e.g., TrueCopy,
ShadowImage, LUN Manager, Data Retention Utility).
For information and instructions, see the Storage Navigator User’s Guide for the storage
system (e.g., Hitachi TagmaStore USP/NSC Storage Navigator User’s Guide).
4. User: For Hitachi TrueCopy only, you must configure the RAID storage system for
TrueCopy operations as follows before you can create TrueCopy volume pairs using CCI.
For detailed instructions on configuring Hitachi TrueCopy operations, please refer to the
Hitachi TrueCopy User and Reference Guide for the storage system.
a) For 9900V and later, make sure that all TrueCopy MCUs are connected to the Storage
Navigator LAN.
For 9900, add all TrueCopy MCUs to the 9900 Remote Console PC at the main site.
b) Change the MCU and RCU remote copy ports to the correct mode (LCP, RCP,
initiator, target, RCU target).
c) Establish the MCU-RCU paths.
