Configuring Remote Mirror sites
Note: The Remote Mirror feature requires that the Site Awareness license has
been installed on all hosts at all sites that participate in the configuration.
This section describes setting up a new disk group. To configure an existing disk
group as a Remote Mirror configuration, additional steps may be required.
See “Making an existing disk group site consistent” on page 499.
Setting up a new disk group for a Remote Mirror configuration requires the
following steps:
■ Define the site name for each host that can access the disk group.
See “Configuring sites for hosts” on page 491.
■ Create the disk group with storage from each site.
■ Register a site record to the disk group, for each site.
See “Configuring site-based allocation on a disk group” on page 493.
■ Set up automatic site tagging for the disk group, if required.
