Reviewing Storage System and Logical Paths
To introduce Universal Replicator for Mainframe into your system and configure your system for
remote copy operations, you must consider which data should be copied from which storage system
to which storage system. The storage system containing data to be copied to another storage
system is referred to as the primary storage system. The storage system to which data are copied
from another storage system is referred to as the secondary storage system. The place where the
primary storage system exists is referred to as the primary site. The place where the secondary
storage system exists is referred to as the secondary site.
When performing system configurations for remote copy operations, the primary site administrator
and the secondary site administrator must do the following:
•
The primary site administrator must configure some of the ports on the primary storage system
to connect hosts. The primary site administrator must also configure some other ports on the
primary storage system to communicate with remote storage systems.
•
The secondary site administrator must configure some ports on the secondary storage system
to communicate with the primary storage system.
•
After finishing port configurations, the primary and secondary site administrators must configure
logical paths between the communication ports on the primary site and the communication
ports on the secondary site, so that the two storage systems can communicate with each other.
When performing system configurations, the administrators must do the following:
•
Display the DKC Operation window
•
Configure port attributes
•
Associate the primary and the secondary storage systems and configure logical paths between
the two storage systems
When performing system configurations, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
•
Change options for logical paths and storage systems
•
Add logical paths
