HP P9000 Business Continuity Manager User Guide

To define a 2DC Configuration, do the following from the primary site (the step numbers corresponds
to the numbers indicated in Figure 75 (page 130)):
1. Perform a local scan at the primary site.
This creates the disk configuration definition file for the primary site. For details on how to
perform scans, see “Acquiring volume information (preparations)” (page 106).
2. Perform a local scan on the secondary site.
This creates a disk configuration definition file for the secondary site. For details on how to
perform scans, see “Acquiring volume information (preparations)” (page 106).
3. Transfer the disk configuration definition file for the secondary site to the primary site.
4. Define a path set consisting of the logical paths in the forward direction (from the primary site
to the secondary site) from the primary site or specify the logical paths using Remote Web
Console.
For Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy groups, define a path set consisting of
inter-disk controller logical paths. For Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe or
Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe copy groups, define a path set consisting of
inter-control unit logical paths.
For details on how to define a path set, see “Creating a path set” (page 439).
5. Establish the logical paths in the forward direction (from the primary site to the secondary site)
from the primary site.
For Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy groups, establish the inter-disk controller
logical paths.
