You must have Storage Administrator (Remote Copy) role to perform most TrueCopy operations using Device Manager - Storage Navigator.
Configuration consists of the following operations.
- Check prerequisites for each procedure.
- See Pair and pair volumes planning.
- On the primary and secondary systems, install the data paths. See Data path requirements and configurations.
- (VSP 5000 series) On the primary and secondary systems, define the Fibre Channel or iSCSI port attribute (Bidirectional) that will be used for TrueCopy operations. See Ports and Defining port attributes (VSP 5000 series) for details.
- On the primary system, create the TrueCopy association with the secondary system. See Adding remote connections. Remote paths between the systems are added during this procedure.
(VSP 5000 series) You can also perform these additional procedures prior to the initial copy:
- Add additional remote paths. For instructions, see Configuring additional remote paths.
- Specify the maximum number of volumes to copy at the same time. See Setting the remote replication options.
- Specify the number of volumes to copy at the same time. See Setting the remote replication options.
Unless otherwise stated, this user guide assumes a configuration in which the primary storage system connects to the P-VOL and the secondary storage system connects to the S-VOL. The local storage system refers to the storage system connected to the management client or CCI. The remote storage system refers to the system connected to the local storage system.
