Reviewing System Configuration Tasks
The storage system containing the data to be copied to another storage system is referred to as
the primary storage system. The storage system to which data is 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 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 the port configurations, the primary and secondary site administrators must
configure logical paths between the communications ports on the primary site and the
communications 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 (see “DKC Operation Window” (page 130) ).
•
Configure port attributes (see “Configuring Port Attributes” (page 144) ).
•
Associate the primary and the secondary storage systems and configure logical paths between
the two storage systems (see
“Establishing the Relationship Between Primary and Secondary
Storage Systems (Add DKC)” (page 147) ).
When performing system configurations, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
•
Change options for logical paths and storage systems (see “Changing Options for Logical
Paths and Storage Systems” (page 149) ).
•
Add logical paths (see “Adding Logical Paths” (page 150) ).
•
Delete logical paths (see “Deleting Logical Paths” (page 154) ).
