Creating Remote Mirror and Copy paths

Complete this task to create paths as they are required before you can create source and target remote mirror and copy volume pair relationships.

1. In the navigation, select Real-time Manager > Copy Services > Paths.
2. Select Create from the Select Action drop-down box. Then, click Go.
3. Select the source LSS and click Next.
4. In the Select target LSS page, select the target LSS and click Next.
5. In the Select source I/O ports page, select the source I/O ports for the selected storage unit and click Next.
   Note: You can configure I/O port properties on the Storage Units page only.
6. In the Select target I/O ports page, select the target I/O ports for each source port and click Next.
7. Optionally, in the Select path option page, select the consistency path option and click Next.
   1. If you do not select the consistency group option, the storage unit causes the volume where the error is detected to enter a suspended state, but updates to that volume are still allowed.
   2. If you select the consistency group option, if a total link failure is detected between the source and target LSS pair or if the volume (where the error is detected) becomes suspended and enters a long busy state, the primary host temporarily queues all the updates to the source volumes.
8. In Create Paths — Verification, review the attributes and values that you selected to verify that they are correct.
9. If the attributes and values are not correct, click Back as appropriate to return and then specify the correct values. Otherwise, click Finish to complete the consistency group process.
