Remote Command Device - Hitachi VSP F1500 User And Reference Manual

Remote command device

A remote command device is a command device on an external (UVM)
storage system that is mapped as a command device of the local storage
system. When commands are issued to a remote command device, the
UR/URz journal operations are processed using the UVM FC path between the
arrays. Use of a remote command device provides improved performance for
3DC configurations by providing separate paths for UR/URz journal
processing and data replication.
The remote command device (RCD) requirements are:
• Virtual Storage Platform G1000, G1500, Virtual Storage Platform F1500:
