No Communication link is down.
Table 18 Diagnostics for replication setup: Viewing information about remote links
Can you create a replication set?
Answer Possible reasons
Yes System functioning properly.
No On controller enclosures equipped with
iSCSI host interface ports, replication
set creation fails due to use of CHAP.
Unable to create the secondary volume
(the destination volume in the disk
group to which you will replicate data
from the primary volume).
Communication link is down.
After ensuring valid licensing, valid cabling, and network availability, create the replication set using the Replications
topic: select Action > Create Replication Set.
