This help page provides information to guide you through the procedure to create a remote replication pair.
Overview
Creating a Pair
The Create Pair screen is used to configure a primary and secondary volume for replication. It has two tabs:
Basic -- Used to define the Pair Name, select a Primary Volume and define a secondary volume and unique pair name. You can also add the pair to a group after creating the pair.
Advanced -- Used to set the Copy Pace and Fence level.
Specify the primary volume and the secondary volume to pair and input a unique pair name. And specify a group to assign after pair creation.
To create a volume pair in the selected arrays:
In the Remote Replication window, click the Basic tab, then click Create Pair.
In the Copy Type field select either TrueCopy remote replication or TrueCopy Extended Distance. The volumes listed in the Primary volume and Secondary volume list boxes change according to the selected function.
In the Pair Name field, enter a name.
Select Remote Array.
Select a primary volume and a secondary volume. Both the primary and secondary volumes must be the same size.
Select the data pool in the data pool number drop-down list, and enter the pool number of the remote array.
If you do not need to change anything in the Advanced Settings tab, skip steps 8, 9. and 10. Otherwise, click the Advanced tab.
In the Advanced tab, select Group Number or Group Name if necessary.
Select a Copy Pace from the drop-down list.
To set the secondary volume to copy data from the primary volume, click the check box for this function.
Click OK to save the setting and continue, or Cancel to exit without creating a pair.
In the displayed message box, read the confirmation and warnings, then click the check box to the left of the text to agree.
Click Confirm to continue or Cancel to close the window and exit without creating a pair.
When the pair has been created, a message box is displayed. Click Close to exit the window and go back to the Remote Replication window. You should now be able to see the new pair listed in this window.
