91Continuous Access and Data Replication Manager SAN Extensions Reference Guide
A peer-to-peer remote connection (PPRC) zone is required for each fabric, in
which the local and remote PPRC controller ports (the right-most controller port,
also known as Controller Port 2) are zoned to access each other across the fabric.
Host bus adapter (HBA) zones are also required, in which each HBA device is
configured in a zone with its corresponding host controller port (the left-most
controller port, also known as Controller Port 1).
Verify connections
Establish the fiber connection between the iFCP gateway port on the local
IPS3300 to the corresponding port on the remote IPS3300. If the connection is
working properly, all devices that will need to be configured into zones will
appear in the Devices pane of the Zone Configuration window, which can be
found using the SANvergence Element Manager for each IPS3300.
If all SAN devices are not listed in the Devices pane of the Zone Configuration
window, double-check the port-to-port connections to/from those devices. Use the
Refresh button in the Zone Configuration window to verify changes to the
connection status.
Create PPRC zones
1. Choose New Zone from the menu bar of the Zone Configuration window of
the local IPS3300.
2. You are prompted to name the zone and to select a Zone ID. Name this new
zone with a label that is in some way descriptive of the device members of that
zone, such as “PPRC Zone - Fabric A.” Select a Zone ID for that zone using
any number between 0 and 512. This same Zone ID will be used for the
corresponding PPRC zone on the other side of the fabric. These two local and
remote PPRC “partner” zones having the same Zone ID will eventually be
merged into one PPRC zone.
3. While the zone name is still highlighted in the Zones pane of the Zone
Configuration window, go to the Devices pane in the same window and look
for the PPRC controller port listed under the E_Port (labeled “EP”). Select
that device, and then click the Add icon on the menu bar near the top of the
window.
4. Follow the previous three steps for any additional fabrics that are required.
