Associating primary and remote arrays and configuring

logical paths (Add DKC)

Use the Add DKC pane to associate the primary and secondary arrays and establish logical paths

between the two arrays. Logical paths connect the primary and secondary arrays. The primary and

secondary arrays use logical paths to communicate with each other.
One primary array can be associated with up to 64 secondary arrays. Up to eight logical paths can

be configured (in each direction) between one primary array and one secondary array. Therefore, one

primary array can have up to 512 logical paths to secondary arrays.
To associate the primary and secondary arrays and configure logical paths between the two arrays, the

primary and secondary array administrators must perform the following procedure:

1.

Ensure that the remote copy connections and ports are properly configured. Also, obtain the remote

array's serial number.

NOTE:

To get the remote array's serial number, ask the remote array's administrator. The serial

number is displayed in the Command View XP or XP Remote Web Console main pane

when logging into the array.

2.

Ensure that Command View XP or XP Remote Web Console is in Modify mode. For more information,

see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks

XP Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
