Figure 20 Host port data replication settings
Verifying path status
The current remote connection path status can be checked from HP P6000 Command View. In the
navigation pane, select the Data Replication folder for the storage system. The Data Replication
Folder Properties page opens. Click View remote connections to view the Remote System Connections
Status page. To view additional information, click the path details icon. A window opens showing
local and remote controller host ports, paths and path status.
A host port can have one of the following path status values:
• Available. The host port has an available path to the target storage system; and, the host port
can create a tunnel to the target storage system.
• Disabled. One of the following conditions exists:
The host port has been intentionally disabled. The port preference has been set to No
DR. No DR tunnels can be created on the host port.
◦
◦ There is a remote replication protocol mismatch. One storage system is set to HP FC Data
Replication Protocol and the other storage system is set to HP SCSI FC Compliant Data
Replication Protocol. For more information, see “Planning the data replication protocol”
(page 38).
• DR active. The host port has a remote replication tunnel.
• No Path. No path exists between the host ports on the storage system pair, either due to the
host ports not being connected to the fabric, improper zoning, or a hardware failure.
• Unavailable. The host port has reached the limit for tunnels on the port. The existing tunnels
are operating normally but no additional tunnels can be created. This can be resolved by
ensuring that additional host ports are available for tunnel creation. Consider changing host
port preferences by setting multiple host ports to the same priority, or by zoning changes.
NOTE: There is no host port tunnel limit for storage system pairs running XCS 0953x000
or later with the remote data replication protocol set to HP SCSI FC Compliant Data Replication
Protocol.
