HP StorageWorks Data Replication Manager HSG80 ACS Version 8.7P Configuration Guide (AA-RPHZF-TE, March 2004)

For a list of additional software support required for each operating system in your DRM
solution, refer to the DRM Release Notes.
Configuration Overview
Both the initiator and target sites need a command line interface (CLI) to the controller. You
can connect the serial maintenance port of both the initiator and target site controllers to a
terminal supporting multiple serial connections, or to multiple terminals, from which to issue
CLI commands. You can also start a terminal emulator session from the platform of your
choice (for example, HyperTerminal in Windows). The default settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit.
Terminal emulator sessions require either a direct serial connect from the server to the
controller, or an intermediate terminal server. If you use a terminal server, the connection from
the server running the emulator to the terminal server will be over a standard network, not a
serial connection.
Configuration Procedures Outline
Target Site Outline
■ Configure the Controllers at the Target Site
■ Configure Storage at the Target Site
— Devices and Storagesets
— Create Storage Units
■ Cable the Target Site
— Connect Fiber Optic Cables Between Controllers and Fibre Channel Switches
— Connect the Target Site to the External Fiber Link
HP storage arrays running ACS 8.5F, 8.5S,
8.5P, 8.6F, and 8.6S may co-exist on the
same SAN with a DRM configuration using
ACS 8.7P.
For OpenVMS, the LP7000 and LP8000
HBAs may coexist on the same DRM storage
area network. However, they may not share
the same server.
IBM AIX supports only Cambex HBAs.
Zoning is required when there is more than
one Tru64 TruCluster. See Chapter 6,
“Configuring the Optional Advanced DRM
Solutions,” and the
HP StorageWorks SAN
Design Reference Guide
for details on switch
zoning.
Boot disks on the HSG80 for OpenVMS must
be nonremote copy set devices.
DRM does not support the bootless failover of
the system disk by any of the supported
operating systems.
