Bidirectional ports must be set up on the primary and secondary systems for TrueCopy command and data transfer.

  • Storage Administrator (System Resource Management) is required.
  • The number of hosts connected to a Target port must be limited to 128 or fewer to avoid disconnection.
  • See Ports for information about Target, and Bidirectional ports.
  • If you are changing a Target port to a Bidirectional port, prepare the port for the change as follows:
    • Confirm that the port is offline.
    • Disconnect the port from the host.
    • Remove all channel paths to the port.
  • If you are changing a Fibre channel port or iSCSI port from a Bidirectional port to a Target port, prepare the port for the change as follows:
    • Release all pairs using the ports.
    • Delete the paths from the Bidirectional port to the remote storage system.
    • Disconnect the connection from the local storage system to the remote storage system. See Deleting remote connections.
