Creating a pair of data volumes (Paircreate)

Using the Paircreate pane, the administrator of the primary array must create pairs of primary and

secondary data volumes. When creating a pair, the administrator can specify options for initial copy

activities.
Before creating one or more pairs, the administrator must ensure that:

Volumes to be used as secondary data volumes are offline to all hosts.

Ports have already been configured (see

Configuring port attributes

).

The primary array is associated with the secondary array (see

arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC)

).
