Configuration workflow
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 the section on planning volume pairs in the TrueCopy User Guide.
- On the primary and secondary systems, install the data paths. See the section on planning data paths in the TrueCopy User Guide.
- 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.
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 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.
