Compaq StorageWorks Data Replication Manager HSG80 ACS Version 8.5P Operations Guide

Chapter 4
Configuring a Data Replication Manager Solution
This chapter provides procedures for configuring your Data Replication Manager solution.
Since a Data Replication Manager system spans multiple sites, you must configure the
Data Replication Manager system at each site.
The procedures take you through the configuration process. You will first set up the target
site, then the initiator site. Setup for each site is very similar. At each site, you will
configure the controllers by defining controller characteristics specific to Data Replication
Manager. Then storagesets, units, remote copy sets, and association sets are defined. Once
the controllers are configured, you will make fiber optic cable connections between the
controllers and switches. Finally, the necessary software and drivers are installed on each
host.
