Last Updated: The date and time when the RCU is last updated.

SCP Time: State-Change-Pending (SCP) time.

FREEZE Option: Support for the CGROUP (FREEZE/ RUN) PPRC TSO command.

The Refresh button refreshes the information displayed on the window. The Close button closes the

window.

The Path Status box lists the path status and the following table describes each status. For troubleshooting

information about MCU-RCU paths, see ”

” on page 141.

Registering an RCU (Add RCU)

You can register up to four RCUs to each MCU, and establish up to eight paths to each RCU. You must

register each CU image as a separate RCU. The logical paths are established for the CU images of the

MCU and RCU separately. The maximum number of logical paths for each MCU is 32 (8 paths per RCU

×

4 RCUs per MCU).
The remote copy connections and MCU ports must be properly installed and configured before you can

register an RCU. When you register an RCU, the current CU image of the MCU registers the specified CU

image as a TC390 RCU and establishes the specified number of logical paths to the RCU. After you have

registered an RCU (and path status is normal), you can create TC390 pairs that have R-VOLs in the newly

registered RCU.
Use the Add RCU window to register the RCU(s) to the current CU image of the connected MCU. When the

Add RCU command for each channel type is selected, the Add RCU window is displayed and you can set

the RCU(s) to be registered.

Logical path status

Status Description

Condition

Normal

This logical path has been successfully established and can be used for TC390 remote

copy activities.

Initialization Failed

The link initialization procedure with the RCU has failed because either the physical path

connection between the MCU and the RCU or the connection between the MCU and the

host was missing.

Communication Timeout A timeout error has occurred between the MCU and RCU.

Resource Shortage

The establish logical path link function has been rejected by the RCU. All logical path

resources in the RCU might be used for other connections.

Serial Number

Mismatch

The serial number of the control unit that is connected to this logical path does not match

the serial number specified by the Add RCU window.

Invalid Port

The serial interface port specified is not in the RCP or Initiator mode.

RCU Port Number

Mismatch

There are three possible factors as follows:

The specified port in the RCU is physically disconnected from the MCU.

The port is not configured as an RCU target port.

The specified port number is not available.

RCU Port Type

Mismatch

The microprogram at the RCU side does not support the Fibre remote copy function. Or

the specified port type is not RCU Target.

Communication Failed

A timeout error has occurred on the Fibre path between MCU and RCU.
