Create a new PPRC path

The wizard that helps you to establish a PPRC path consists of five steps. In first four steps, you select Primary Storage Controller, Primary Logical Control Unit (LCU), Secondary Storage Controller, and Secondary Logical Control Unit respectively. In the fifth step, you see a display similar to the following screen:

Remote Copy -- CA11 -------------- O P S V I E W -------------- Subsystem OPSU Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR Wait ===> 60 Create PPRC Path -- SPECIFY FCAs AND OPTIONS Server: A11SENF Step 5 of 5: Specify FCAs and options Dialog Commands: S - Submit request X - Exit dialog END - Return to previous panel --- FCAs --------------------------------------------------------------------- Primary - 1. ____ 2. ____ 3. ____ 4. ____ 5. ____ 6. ____ 7. ____ 8. ____ Secondary - 1. ____ 2. ____ 3. ____ 4. ____ 5. ____ 6. ____ 7. ____ 8. ____ --- OPTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------ Consistency Group (Y/N): N Subchannel Set (0/1): 0 --- PRIMARY SITE ------------------------------------------------------------- Primary Storage Controller: Primary LCU: Serial Number - 0000000MC711 Device Number - 8400 World Wide Node Name - 5005076308FFC641 Logical Subsystem - 02 --- SECONDARY SITE ----------------------------------------------------------- Secondary Storage Controller: Secondary LCU: Serial Number - 0000000MC711 Device Number - 8500 World Wide Node Name - 5005076308FFC641 Logical Subsystem - 03

In this display, specify the PPRC links through Primary and Secondary Fiber Channel Adapters (FCAs) and you can specify other options like Consistency Group and Subchannel Set.

View or Modify PPRC Pairs (Option 3.6.1.2)

To View or Modify the PPRC pairs, choose option 2 on the PPRC Menu. As a result, you see a display similar to the following screen:

Remote Copy -- CA11 ------------- O P S V I E W ------------- Row 1 to 1 of 1 Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR Wait ===> 60 VIEW PPRC Mirrored Volumes on All Systems Server: A11SENF Primary command: CV - Create a new volume pair Line commands S - View volume pair details D - Delete a volume pair | Device | | Primary | | Secondary | Sel Dev# Serial # SSID LSS CCA SSID LSS CCA Copy State --- ---- ------------ ---- --- --- ---- --- --- ---------- I= 8419 0000000MC711 - 8400 02 19 - 8500 03 19 - Duplex 841A 0000000MC711 - 8400 02 1A - 8500 03 1A - Duplex

The line commands available on this screen are the following:

S

Displays a pop-up window with detailed information about the PPRC pair.

D

Deletes a selected volume pair.

Note: Before issuing a DELETE PATH command, issue a DELETE VOLUME command to all active PPRC volume pairs. The DELETE PATH command can cause the issuance of an ANTP0121I message when this sequence is not followed.

The primary command for the Command field follows:

CV

Runs a wizard that guides you through the PPRC volume pair setup.
