Controller ID: Allows you to select the controller ID (stora ge system family ID) of the RCU being added

from the drop-down list. The controller ID for an HP XP24000 Disk Array is 5 and the controller ID

for an HP XP12000 Disk Array is 4.

Logical Adr. (RCU CU): Allows you to enter the CU number of the RCU being added. The CU number

differs by the speciﬁed controller ID as follows:

• When the speciﬁed controller ID is 5 (HP XP24000 Disk Array) , you can select a CU number

from 00 to FE.

• When the speciﬁed controller ID is 4 (HP XP12000 Disk Array) , you can select a CU number

from 00 to 3F.

SSID: allows you to enter the SSID(s) of the RCU being added. The storage system uses one SSID for

each set of 256 volumes a nd one SSID for each set of 64 volumes or four SSIDs per CU. The SSID is

4-FFFF (hexadecimal) .

Path Gr. ID: Allows you to enter the path group ID for using CU Free. To enter the path group ID,

clear the Default check box, a nd input the value in hexadecimal within the range of 1 to FF. To use the

default ID, click the Default check box.

MCU-RCU Path: Displays different boxes depending on the channel interface type (ﬁbre).

• MCU Port: Allows youto selectthe MCUportnumberfrom the drop-downlistortoenter the

port number directly. Initiator ports are listed.

• RCU Port: Allows you to select the RCU port number from the drop-down list or to enter the port

number directly. You must select RCU target ports.

Note:

Yo u can specify the por t number with two characters. For instance, you can abbreviate CL1-A as

1A. You can also enter the port number in both lowercase and uppercase characters.

The Option button opens the RCU Option dialog box (see “Changing the RCU Options” on page 75).

The Cancel button cancels the settings you m ade on the Add RCU d ialog box, and closes the dialog box.

To add an RCU to the connected MCU:

1. Make sure the remote copy connections and ports are properly conﬁgured. Get the S/N and

SSID(s) for the desired CU of the RCU. The add RCU operation will fail without this information.

The storage system should have a label or tag indicating its S/N and SSIDs, or ask your HP

service representative for the RCU S/N and SSIDs.

2. Click the RCU Op eration tab, click the MCU&RCU display button, and select the desired CU in

the

tree. You must add RCUs to each CU separately.

3. Right-click the list (an RCU does not have to be selected), click RCU Operation, and then click

Add

RCU to open the Add RCU d ialog box (see Figure 26 on page 72).

4. On the Add RCU dialog box, enter the S/N, controller ID (5 for an HP XP24000 Disk Array

or 4

for an HP XP12000 Disk Array) , CU number, and SSID(s) or Path Gr. ID for the desired

RCU CU. Enter the value in hexadecimal within the range of 1 to FF for Path Gr . ID or use

the

default value. Up to 64 Path Gr. IDs can be registered per storage system. The MCU

veriﬁes the S/N when the paths are established, a nd veriﬁes the SSIDs when the pairs are

created. If desired, you can add and delete SSIDs later using the Add SSID dialog box (see

“Adding and Deleting SSIDs for an RCU” on page 79).

5. Select the MCU port and RCU port. The MCU will not allow you to establish less

than the

minimum number of paths as speciﬁed o n the RCU Option dialog box. If

desired, you can add and delete paths later using the Add Path dialog box (see

“Adding and Deleting Logical Paths to an RCU” on page 78).

6. Click the Option button to open the RCU Option d ialog box (see

“Changing the RCU Options” on page 75), and enter the desired settings.

Note:

When you have Continuous Access Asynchronous pairs conﬁgure d on a Fibre Channel

interface, set the same value for the Mi nimum Paths option for all RCUs.

7. Click Set to close the RCU Option dialog box, e v en if you made no changes. (Click Cancel to

cancel the add RCU operations.) The preview list d isplays the requested add RCU operation(s) .

8. Verify the requested operation(s) displayed in the preview list. To change one o r more

operations, select the operation(s), right-click the p review list, and click Modify.To remove
