Fields

Enter session number

The session number. The session number consists of two hexadecimal characters ranging from 01 - FF (1-255 in decimal). This number is unique across the enterprise and uniquely identifies the session. It identifies volumes that are included in the Global Mirror session.

Note: You cannot change the session number or the master LSS after the session has been created.

Select master LSS

A navigation tree whose nodes are master LSSs that can be selected. The master LSSs that are available for selection depend on which storage complex you specified for Select storage complex for master LSS.

Note: You cannot change the master LSS

Navigate through the following levels to select the master LSS:

Storage complex

The list of storage complexes that are available for selection. This is the first filter that displays in the table.

Storage unit

The nicknames of the storage units that are available for selection. The storage unit (from the selected storage complex) is the second filter that displays in the table.

LSS

The LSS number that is associated with the master storage unit. The LSS (from the selected storage unit) is the third filter that displays in the table.

Consistency group interval time (seconds)

Indicates how long you must wait between the formation of consistency groups. If the value is set to zero, the consistency group is formed continuously. The default value is 0. The maximum value is 65535 seconds. This field is optional.

Maximum coordination interval (milliseconds)

Indicates the maximum time that the primary host I/O is paused to form a consistency group. The default value is 50. The maximum value is 65535 milliseconds. This field is optional.

Maximum time writes inhibited to remote site (seconds)

Indicates the maximum amount of time that writes are inhibited to the remote site before the current consistency group stops. The default value is 30 seconds. This field is optional.
