Item

Description

Connection Type

  • System: system-to-system connection. TC/UR/URz/GAD.

  • CU: CU-to-CU connections. TCz only.

Local Storage System

Item

Description

Model

Local model.

Serial Number

Local serial number.

Local CU (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TCz only.

Local system CU number, displayed when Connection Type is CU.

Remote Storage System

Item

Description

Model

Remote system's model.

  • VSP G1000 and G1500, and VSP F1500 (7)

  • VSP (6)

  • USP V/USP VM (5)

  • HUS VM (19)

  • VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models (18)

Specify the same value for VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models.

HUS VM (19) and VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models (18) can be selected only when System is selected for Connection Type.

If a value other than the above is specified, it is regarded as a storage system that will be supported in the future. In this case, in the Remote Connections window, the specified value will be enclosed by parentheses, such as (255), is displayed.

Serial Number

Last five or six digits of the remote system serial number, as follows:

  • VSP G1000 and G1500, and VSP F1500: 1 to 99999 (5 digits)

  • VSP or USP V/VM: 1 to 99999 (5 digits)

  • HUS VM: 200001 to 265535 (6 digits) (TC/UR only)

  • VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models: 400001 to 499999 (6 digits)

  • Future storage systems: 0 to 99999

(VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) Note: When using CCI (including raidcom), the VSP G1000 and G1500, and VSP F1500 serial number requires a prefix of "3".

(VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models) Note: When using virtual storage machine volumes, specify the serial number of the storage system. Do not specify the serial number of the virtual storage machine

Remote CU (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TCz only.

Remote system CU number, displayed when Connection Type is CU.

SSID (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TCz only.

Remote system SSID.

Add SSIDs (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TCz only.

Clicking adds the SSID to the remote system. The maximum is four.

Remote Paths

Item

Description

Path Group ID

Path group identifier (00 to FF). Up to 64 path group IDs can be registered per storage system

Minimum Number of Paths

Minimum number of remote paths.

  • TC and TCz: The range is from 1 to 8, and the default is 1.

  • UR and URz: The minimum number is set to 1, regardless of the number entered.

Select Type

Select the port type.

  • Fibre: Fibre Channel port

  • iSCSI: iSCSI port

(VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) For TCz or URz, Fibre is selected automatically (because iSCSI is not supported).

Port ID (for local storage systems)

Select the port identifier of the local storage system.

Port ID (for remote storage systems)

Select the port identifier of a remote storage system.

A hyphen (-) is displayed if the number of valid paths is greater than the minimum number of paths. Clicking the hyphen deletes the text box of the port for the local and remote storage systems.

IP address

Select the IP type (IPv4 or IPv6) for the port of the remote storage system to enter the IP address.

Displayed only when iSCSI is selected as the port type.

TCP Port Number

Enter the TCP port number of the remote storage system.

Displayed only when iSCSI is selected as the port type.

Add Paths

Opens a dialog box for creating additional paths (maximum of eight).

Options

Item

Description
