Steps On The Primary Host (3Dc Cascade Configuration) - HP XP P9500 Software User's Manual

Steps on the Primary Host (3DC Cascade Configuration)

1. Scan the storage system on the primary site.
Perform a scan over a range that contains volumes to be defined in the copy group and a
command device (for the forward direction) to be registered in the storage system of the
primary site.
NOTE:
This creates the disk configuration definition file for the primary site.
For details on how to perform scans to acquire storage system information, see
volume information" (page
2. Define a path set consisting of inter-control unit logical paths (Primary -> Intermediate) and
inter-disk controller logical paths (Intermediate -> Remote) that are in the forward direction (or
specify a path using Remote Web Console).
A CU to be specified for a path set must include a volume to be defined in a Cnt Ac-S
copy group and a command device for the forward direction.
Only define paths in the forward direction in a path set that is defined on the primary
site. Create a path set of paths for the reverse direction from the secondary site.
These steps create the path set definition file.
3. Create a route list for the forward direction (Primary -> Intermediate -> Remote route).
