Prerequisites For Global-Active Device Setup Using Hcs; Select Primary And Secondary Storage Systems - Hitachi G1000 User Manual

Prerequisites for global-active device setup using HCS

Before performing global-active device setup tasks using HCS, ensure the
following prerequisites are met:
• The Virtual Storage Platform G1000 microcode version for both the
primary and secondary storage systems must be 80-02-01-XX/XX or later
to create global-active device pairs where the P-VOLs already have a
virtual LDEV ID assigned and are managed by user-defined virtual storage
machines, as with Nondisruptive Migration. This requirement is not
necessary for global-active device pairs created by adding secondary
storage resources to the primary storage default virtual storage machine.
• Global-active device has been licensed (which includes Replication
Manager).
• Replication Manager is installed and linked to HCS.
• A pair management server is installed with Device Manager Agent and
Command Control Interface (CCI) at the primary and secondary storage
sites.
• The external port of the primary and secondary storage systems are
connected to the external (quorum) storage system by Fibre Channel or
Fibre Channel over Ethernet.
• You have registered (discovered) the primary, secondary, and external
storage systems using HCS.
