8. Register the primary and secondary data volumes and the journal groups that are paired from
the Add Pair window in Pair Operation.
NOTE: Universal Replicator for Mainframe pairs can only be registered by the primary
storage system.
9. Exit the Universal Replicator for Mainframe remote console software, and disconnect from the
storage system. Operate at a primary storage system and a secondary storage system.
10. Repeat steps (3)−(9) for each storage system which will function as a Universal Replicator for
Mainframe primary storage system. After you have configured the primary storage systems,
added the secondary storage systems, and configured the Universal Replicator for Mainframe
options and journal groups, you are ready to begin Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume
pair operations.
Setup Procedure (When More Than One Primary and Secondary Storage System are
Used)
1. Install Universal Replicator for Mainframe on the storage systems in the primary and secondary
sites.
2. Make settings on the ports and journal groups of the storage systems in the primary and
secondary sites.
For details on port settings for storage systems in the secondary sites, see “Configuring Paths
and Ports to Establish Connections among Secondary Storage Systems” (page 65) .
3. Create command devices in secondary storage systems.
4. Create remote command devices in the supervisor DKC that are mapped to command devices
in the subordinate DKCs.
For details on remote command devices to be created in the supervisor DKC, see “Creating
Remote Command Devices to Establish Connections among Secondary Storage Systems”
(page 65)
on page “Creating Remote Command Devices to Establish Connections among
Secondary Storage Systems” (page 65) .
5. Create Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume pairs.
6. With the remote command devices created in step 4 , use the supervisor DKC to register journal
groups of secondary storage systems in an extended consistency group.
Configuring Port Attributes
The administrator at both the primary site and the secondary site must configure ports on the primary
storage system and the secondary storage system in the following ways:
•
The administrator at the primary site must configure target ports, initiator ports, and RCU target
ports on the primary storage system.
•
The administrator at the secondary site must configure initiator ports and RCU target ports on
the secondary storage system.
Ports on XP storage system have the target attribute by default. If you are configuring XP storage
systems, you must determine ports that should be used as initiator ports or RCU target ports, and
then you must change the attribute of the ports from target to initiator or RCU target. The port
attributes are explained below:
•
Target: A target port is a Fibre Channel port used for connecting a storage system and a host.
When the host issues a write request, the request will be sent to a volume via a target port on
