4 Configuring arrays and logical paths
To introduce XP Continuous Access Journal into your system and configure your system for remote
copy operations, you must consider what data should be copied from which array to which array.
The array containing data to be copied to another array is referred to as the primary array. The
array to which data is copied from another array is referred to as the secondary array. The location
of the primary array is referred to as the primary site. The location of the secondary array is referred
to as the secondary site.
When performing system configurations for remote copy operations, the primary and secondary
site administrators must do the following:
•
The primary site administrator must configure some ports on the primary array to connect hosts
and configure other ports on the primary array to communicate with remote arrays.
•
The secondary site administrator must configure some ports on the secondary array to
communicate with the primary array.
•
After finishing the port configurations, the primary and secondary site administrators must
configure logical paths between the communications ports on the primary site and the
communication ports on the secondary site, so the two arrays can communicate with each
other.
When performing system configurations, the administrators must do the following:
•
Displaying the DKC Operation pane
•
•
Associating primary and remote arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC)
When performing system configurations, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
•
Changing options for logical paths and arrays
•
•
•
Viewing the status of logical paths
•
Removing the relationship between primary and secondary arrays
NOTE:
Throughout this chapter, the primary and secondary arrays are sometimes referred to as
local arrays and remote arrays. If you are logged into the primary array and are using XP
Continuous Access Journal, the primary array is a local array and the secondary array is a remote
array. If you are logged into the secondary array and are using XP Continuous Access Journal,
the secondary array is a local array and the primary array is a remote array.
NOTE:
When performing system configurations, the administrator must also configure journal
groups. For more information, see
.
Displaying the DKC Operation pane
To configure arrays and logical paths, use the DKC Operation pane.
If XP Continuous Access Journal has not been started
1.
Use your Web browser to display the storage device list. In the storage device list, select the
array to log into. Enter the user name and password, and click OK. The XP Command View
Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console main pane appears. For more
information, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View user guide for XP Disk Arrays or
the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
