CLI Guide

• Ports with optimized paths are used first. If no optimized path exists, ports with unoptimized paths are

used . If only one port has an optimized path, then only that port is used.

• The replication does not use another available port until all used ports become unavailable.

If a single host port loses connectivity, event 112 is logged. Because a peer connection is likely to be

associated with multiple host ports, the loss of a single host port may degrade performance. The loss of a

single port but does not usually cause the peer connection to be inaccessible.

remote-username username

Examples On a storage system that will replicate using iSCSI to a second system, create peer connection Peer1 to

remote port address 192.168.200.22, using the credentials of remote user John.

# create peer-connection remote-port-address 192.168.200.22 remote-username

John remote-password P@ssw0rd Peer1

On a storage system that will replicate using FC to a second system, create peer connection Peer2 to

remote port address 247000c0ff1a45b8, using the credentials of remote user Admin1.

# create peer-connection remote-port-address 247000c0ff1a45b8 remote-

username Admin1 Peer2 Enter remote password: *******

Re-enter remote password: *******
