3.4.3.1 Setting Up the Remote Copy Interface for RCFC

For Remote Copy over Fibre Channel (RCFC), you must set up the Remote Copy interface for

each storage server in the Remote Copy configuration.

Set the Remote Copy interface for all systems based on the information gathered from

Figure 3-4 as follows:

1 Set the connection type for each Fibre Channel adaptor port on the primary and backup

storage servers as shown in the following example:

The Fibre Channel adaptor port, as specified by

<N:S:P> (Node:Slot:Port), is configured as

an RCFC connection (

config rcfc) in point-to-point mode (-ct point). See the InForm

OS Command Line Interface Reference for details about the controlport config

command.

2 Issue the

showport -rcfc command to obtain the RCFC port positions.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each storage server to obtain all four RCFC port positions to be

used in the Remote Copy configuration. Record this information in Figure 3-4 on page 3.7.
