HP StorageWorks XP24000 Continuous Access Software User and Reference Guide, v01 (T5278-96002, June 2007)

4. Click Go , Continuous A ccess, and then RCU Operation on the menu bar of the Remote Web

Console main window to start the Continuous Access software where the RCU Operation

window is displayed.

5. Conﬁgure the Fibre Channel ports which are connected to the RCUs as initiator ports (see

Figure 12 on page 51) (see “Conﬁguring the Host Interface Por ts” on page 70 for instructions).

6. Add the desired RCU(s) to each MCU CU, and set the desired RCU options using the Add RCU

dialog box (see Figure 13 on page 52) a nd RCU Option dialog box (see Figure 14 on page 53)

(see “Adding an RCU” on page 71 for instructions). Enter the following information on the

Add RCU dialog box:

RCU S/N =serialnumberofthe RCU.

LDKC = LDKC number to which the RCU belongs (00 or 01).

Controller ID =For an HP XP24000 Disk Array, thecontrollerIDmustbe05(04 foranHP

XP12000 Disk Array RCU).

Logical Adr. (RCU CU) = RCU CU number (00-FE for an H P XP24000 Disk Array, 00-3F for an

XP12000 Disk Array).

SSID = maximum of four SSIDs per CU with 64 LD EVs per SSID.

Note:

If only one SSID is

speciﬁed, there are 256 LDEVs per SSID.

Path Gr. ID = path group ID for using CU Free.

MCU-RCU path = physical por t numbers (1A-2R, 3a-4r) for each path (initiator port-to RCU

target port).

7. If you plan to create Continuous Access Asynchronous pairs with P-VOLs in

this

MCU, conﬁg ure the Async options (see Figure 15 on page 53) (see

“Setting the Asynchronous Copy Options” on page 84 for instructions), and add

the desired consistency group(s) to the MCU (see Figure 16 on page 54) (see

“Adding Consistency G roups” on page 85 for instructions).

8. When you are ﬁnished conﬁguring this MCU, exit the Continuous Access software, and

disconnect from the storage system.

9. Repeat steps3through8foreachstorage system whichwillfunctionasa Continuous Access

MCU. After you have conﬁg ured the MCUs, added the RCUs, and conﬁgured the Continuous

Access Asynchronous options and consistency groups, you are ready to begin Continuous

Access pair operations.
