44 Configuring Remote Copy
The InForm Management Console allows you to setup several different configurations of HP 3PAR
Remote Copy, as well as configure Remote Copy ports. The following types of Remote Copy are
supported:
•
1-to-1 Remote Copy - In 1-to-1 Remote Copy, data is mirrored between two systems.
•
1-to-N Remote Copy - In 1-to-N Remote Copy, a single system uses multiple systems as backup
servers.
•
N-to-1 Remote Copy - In an N-to-1 Remote Copy relationship, a maximum of four primary
(source) systems use the same system as backup server.
•
Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy - In a Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy
configuration, a single Remote Copy group is copied directly to volumes on two other systems
by admitting the volumes to groups with two targets. One copy is in synchronous Remote
Copy mode, the other copy is in asynchronous periodic Remote Copy mode.
Use the Remote Copy configuration best suited to your needs. For setup information, refer to the
following topics:
