create peer-connection
Description
Creates a peer connection between two storage systems.
The peer connection is defined by the ports that connect the two peer systems, and the name of the peer
connection. The local system uses the remote address to internally run the query peer-connection command.
The results of the query are used to configure the peer connection.
The prerequisites to create a peer connection are:
• Both systems must have iSCSI or FC host ports. Ports at both ends of the connection must use the same
protocol.
• Both systems must be connected to the same fabric or network. For FC, at least one FC switch is
required between systems (no direct attach).
• All host port addresses in both systems must be unique, even for ports not in use.
• Each system must have a virtual pool.
• If iSCSI CHAP is configured for the peer connection, the authentication must be valid.
• The username and password of a user with the manage role on the remote system must be specified.
You can create a maximum of four peer connections per storage system. However, only one peer connection
is allowed to a particular remote system. Attempting to create a second peer connection to the same system
fails.
Host port evaluation is done at the start or resumption of each replication operation.
• At most, two ports are used.
