Workflow for configuring a global-active device environment

With global-active device (GAD), you can achieve data redundancy for volumes between two storage systems, and provide a high availability environment.

Data written to a volume of one storage system is automatically synchronized to a volume of the other storage system. You can then use global-active device without having to be aware of the configuration of the volumes accessed by the server. For details about global-active device, see the Global-Active Device User Guide.

You can use VSP One Block Administrator to configure the ports, remote paths, and quorum disks required to use the global-active device. These settings must be configured on both storage systems in the global-active device environment.
