Performing configuration operations using Device Manager - Storage Navigator

Some GAD configuration operations can be performed using Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN). This appendix provides instructions for these operations.

The HDvM - SN GUI displays "Local Storage System" for the system you accessed on the HDvM - SN server. As a result, when you access the HDvM - SN server at the secondary site, the GUI displays information for the pair's secondary storage system under "Local Storage System". Likewise, the GUI identifies the storage system connected to the system you accessed (in this case, the primary storage system) as the "Remote Storage System".

  • Global-active device

    The global-active device (GAD) feature supports read/write copies of the same data in two places at the same time. Its active-active design implements cross-mirrored storage volumes between two matched storage systems accepting read/write I/Os on both sides that are continuously updated. Global-active device assures that an up-to-date storage volume is always available and enables production workloads on both systems, while maintaining full data consistency and protection. In addition, the use of active-active stretch clustering can also be used for nondisruptive workload migration and nondisruptive data migration, without requiring the use of a separate intermediate system.
