Administrator Guide

Changing the peer connection name will not affect the network connection so any running replications will not be interrupted.
NOTE: Changing the remote port address will modify the network connection, which is permitted only if no replications are
running and new replications are prevented from running. For the peer connection, stop any running replications and either
suspend its replication sets or make sure its network connection is offline. After you have modified the peer connection, you
can resume replication sets. If CHAP is enabled on one system within a peer connection, be sure that CHAP is configured
properly on the corresponding peer system before initiating this operation. For more information about configuring CHAP,
see CHAP and replication.
Modify a peer connection
1. In the Replications topic, select the peer connection to be modified in the Peer Connections table.
2. Select Action > Modify Peer Connection. The Modify Peer Connection panel appears.
3. Change one of the following. You cannot change both:
● Select New Name, then enter a new name for the peer connection. The name is case sensitive and can have a maximum
of 32 bytes. It cannot already exist in the system or include the following: " , < \
● Select New Remote Address (FC-WWN or iSCSI-IP), then enter a new address for the remote system.
NOTE: You can change protocols used in the peer connection between FC and iSCSI by modifying the peer connection
to use the remote port address of the new protocol.
4. Enter the name and password of a user assigned a manage role on the remote system.
5. Click OK. The peer connection is modified and the Peer Connections table is updated.
Deleting a peer connection
You can delete a peer connection if there are no replication sets that belong to the peer connection. If there are replications
sets that belong to the peer connection, you must delete them before you can delete the peer connection. For more
information, see Deleting a replication set.
NOTE:
If the peer connection is down and there is no communication between the primary and secondary systems, use the
local-only parameter of the delete replication-set CLI command to delete the replication set.
NOTE: If CHAP is enabled on one system within a peer connection, be sure that CHAP is configured properly on the
corresponding peer system before initiating this operation. For more information about configuring CHAP, see CHAP and
replication.
Delete a peer connection
1. In the Replications topic, select the peer connection to be deleted in the Peer Connections table.
2. Select Action > Delete Peer Connection.
3. Click OK. The peer connection is deleted and the Peer Connections table is updated.
Creating a replication set from the Replications topic
You can create a replication set, which specifies the components of a replication. The Create Replication Set panel enables you
to create replication sets. You can access this panel from both the Replications and Volumes topics.
Performing this action creates the replication set and the infrastructure for the replication set. For a selected volume, snapshot,
or volume group, the action creates a secondary volume or volume group and the internal snapshots required to support
replications. By default, the secondary volume or volume group and infrastructure are created in the pool corresponding to the
one for the primary volume or volume group (A or B). Optionally, you can select the other pool.
A peer connection must be defined to create and use a replication set. A replication set can specify only one peer connection
and pool. When creating a replication set, communication between the peer connection systems must be operational during the
entire process.
