Configuring N-to-1 Remote Copy

Note: 3PAR Remote Copy requires a 3PAR Remote Copy license. For

additional information about the license, see the 3PAR InForm OS Concepts
Guide
.


In an N-to-1 Remote Copy relationship, a maximum of four primary (source) InServ Storage

Servers use the same InServ Storage Server as backup server. N-to-1 Remote Copy
configurations can operate in either a combination of unidirectional and bidirectional (for a
single Remote Copy group pair), or in complete unidirectional functionality.

Note: In order to configure N-to-1 Remote Copy, you must have at least two

available InServ Storage servers with configured Remote Copy ports.


To configure N-to-1 Remote Copy:

1. In the Manager Pane, click Remote Copy.
2. In the Common Actions panel, click New Configuration.

The New Remote Copy Configuration wizard appears.


Step 1. Targets

1. Under Select a Topology, click N-1.
2. Under Assign Systems:

a. Select the total number of systems you are configuring for the N-to-1 setup.
b. Click a storage server graphic. In the menu that appears, select a storage server to

assign. Repeat for the other storage server graphics.

Note: Only available InServ Storage Servers, which satisfy requirements

appear. See the 3PAR Remote Copy User's Guide for additional information.

3. (Optional) Under Update System's Location, enter a location for each storage server,

e.g. Lab 1, New York.

4. (Optional) Under Name Targets, the Target Name fields are automatically populated

with the storage server names. You can enter an alternate name if you wish.

5. Click Next.
