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 XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote
Web Console main pane when logging into the array.

2.

Ensure that XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console is in
Modify mode. 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
.

3.

Display the DKC Operation pane (see

Displaying the DKC Operation pane

).

4.

In the Switch Display box, select DKC.

5.

Select Subsystem from the tree.

6.

Right-click the upper-right list, and select DKC Operations and Add DKC. The Add DKC pane
appears.
