Setup prerequisites
- Create an external volume to use as a Quorum Disk, and register it in Primary and Secondary Storage.
- Prepare ports for the remote path.
Prepare a minimum of two ports for the remote path for Primary Storage and Secondary Storage.
- For VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500, prepare one MCU port and one RCU port.
- For VSP 5000 series models, VSP Gx00 models, VSP Fx00 models, VSP N series models, and VSP E series models, you can share an MCU/RCU/Target/Initiator port by setting the port attribute to bidirectional mode, but you should prepare a dedicated port to avoid migration performance degradation.
- Set the zone between the ports.
Note: You cannot create remote paths using the iSCSI port. - Host Group (optional)
Create a Host Group to use for Command Device allocation and register the pair management server WWN.
When creating a path with this service, the host and storage port are created individually, but to control how to create a path (for example, to create it with Full Mesh), create a Host Group beforehand and when you are in the Existing Host Group/iSCSI Target in the Edit/Config window, select the Host Group you created.
- Create a web service connection for the Ops Center API Configuration Manager that uses the same credentials for each storage system managed by Ops Center API Configuration Manager.
- Verify that the common credentials used to access all storage systems are
assigned the following roles:
- Security Administrator (View & Modify)
- Storage Administrator (Provisioning)
