The PowerStore local system can establish a remote system relationship with different types of
remote storage systems for replication remote protection and import use-cases. Refer to the
RemoteSystemTypeEnum specification for a list of system types supported. NOTE Before creating a
remote system relationship with PowerStore remote systems, first establish a Certificate Based
Trust between the local and remote PowerStore systems using the verify and exchange operations
on the x509_certificate resource type.

POST /remote_system
Description
Create a new remote system relationship. The type of remote system being connected requires
different parameter sets. For PowerStore remote system relationships, include the following
parameters:
• Management address - Either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. FQDN is not supported.
• Type of remote system
• Data network latency type
For PowerStore remote system relationships, the relationship is created in both directions. Remote
protection policies can be configured using the PowerStore remote system instance on either of the
systems. This enables remote replication for storage resources in either direction. The data
connections take into account whether Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is
enabled on local and remote PowerStore systems.
For non-PowerStore remote system relationships, include the following parameters:
• Management address - Either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. FQDN is not supported.
• Type of remote system
