Enabling TrueCopy for Mainframe Options
You must enable the TrueCopy for Mainframe option(s) (Asynchronous and/or Synchronous) on
the XP disk arrays using the Remote Web Console software. Each TrueCopy for Mainframe option
requires a separate license key code, and each HP disk array requires its own separate set of
license key codes.
For instructions on using the Remote Web Console software and enabling the TrueCopy for
Mainframe option(s), see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User's
Guide.
When you use the Remote Web Console on UNIX workstations or in other non-Windows
environments, certain additional operating conventions must be followed. For details, see the HP
StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User's Guide.
Disabling TrueCopy
For information on disabling the TrueCopy for Mainframe options, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User's Guide.
CAUTION: Before disabling a TrueCopy for Mainframe option, you must release all affected
pairs and MCU-RCU paths. See “Discontinuing TrueCopy for Mainframe Operations” (page 141)
for instructions.
Configuring the MCUs and RCUs for TrueCopy for Mainframe Operations
After you have installed the TrueCopy for Mainframe hardware and software, you can configure
the MCUs and RCUs for TrueCopy for Mainframe operations.
Fibre Channel Interface Configuration
To configure the MCUs and RCUs for TrueCopy for Mainframe Fibre Channel operations:
1. Identify the volumes that will become the TrueCopy for Mainframe M-VOLs and R-VOLs. You
need to know the storage system S/N, SSID, and CU of each volume, so that you can configure
the MCUs and RCUs correctly for your desired pairs and async groups. When you create the
pairs, you will need to know the LDEV ID of each volume.
2. At the RCUs (for example, remote site), use the TrueCopy for Mainframe software to configure
the Fibre Channel ports which are connected to the MCUs as RCU target ports (see
“Configuring
the RCU Target and Initiator Ports” (page 76) ).
3. At the main site, connect to and log on to the HP disk array that you want to configure as a
TrueCopy for Mainframe MCU. You must log on with Administrator or TrueCopy for Mainframe
write access, and you must be in Modify mode.
