After the remote connection has been established, you can add and delete paths as needed using the Add Remote Paths window.Adding remote connections
You associate the primary and secondary systems in the Universal Replicator relationship and define the remote paths between them in one procedure.
Prerequisite information
This procedure must be performed on both the primary and secondary systems.
The primary and secondary systems must already be configured for Universal Replicator operations. For more information, see system requirements in the Universal Replicator User Guide
The data path must already be set up. For more information, see the chapter on planning the data path in the Universal Replicator User Guide
The storage system’s serial number, model, and port number is required during this procedure.
A path group ID is required. This is a group of a maximum of remote paths. For more information, see the Path Group item in system requirements in the Universal Replicator User Guide.
To add a remote connection
Open the Remote Connections window.
In Command Suite: On the Resources tab, expand the Storage Systems tree, right-click the target storage system, and click Remote Connections.
In Device Manager - Storage Navigator: Access the primary system, and click Replication > Remote Connections.
In the Remote Connections window, click the Connections (To) tab, and click Add Remote Connection.
In the Add Remote Connection window, for Connection Type, select System.
In the Remote Storage System box, select the Model of the remote storage system.
For Serial Number, enter the secondary system serial number.
Specify the physical serial number, even when using virtual storage machine volumes. Do not specify the serial number of the virtual storage machine.
For Path Group ID, select the ID (00-FF) for the path group you want to use.
For Minimum Number of Paths, select 1 for Universal Replicator.
For Select Type, select the port type, and then select the ports to be used for both the local storage system and the remote storage system. For an iSCSI port, enter the IP address and TCP port number for the remote storage system port. To add more than two paths, click + Add Path.
After the remote connection has been established, you can add and delete paths as needed using the Add Remote Paths window.
For RIO MIH Time, enter the time interval in seconds that, if exceeded, will cause the data transfer operation to be reported as failed by the system.
The recommended RIO MIH Time for the 3DC cascade configuration is 20 seconds.
The Remote I/O Missing Interrupt Handler (RIO MIH) is the waiting time until the data copy between the storage systems completes.
Click Finish.
In the Confirm window, review the settings and enter a task name in the Task Name box.
Click Apply to save your settings to the system.
