6. Define a second target system (for example, the synchronous backup system SystemB) for the
current backup system. On the current backup system (SystemC), enter:
# creatercopytarget <target_name> IP <N:S:P>:<IP_addr> <N:S:P>:<IP_addr>
• <target_name> - Name of the Remote Copy target system (SystemB).
• IP - Specifies an IP link.
• <N:S:P>:<IP_addr> - Node on SystemC that contains the IP connections to the target
system, expressed as node:slot:port, and the IP address for the target system (SystemB)
(0:1:1:10.100.33.195 and 1:3:2:10.101.33.195).

1. Issue the showrcopy command on the primary system (for example, SystemA).
# showrcopy
2. Verify that:
• The Target Information area shows a Status of ready.
• The Link Information area shows a Status of Up for all the links.
For example, showrcopy output on SystemA looks like:
Remote Copy System Information
Status: Started, Normal

SystemB 6 FC ready 2FF70002AC0000C3 mirror_config
SystemC 7 IP ready mirror_config

receive 1:3:2 21210002AC0000C3 Up
receive 2:4:1 receive Up
receive 3:4:1 receive Up
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 on one of the backup systems (for example, SystemB).
For example, showrcopy output on SystemB looks like:
Remote Copy System Information
Status: Started, Normal

Name ID Type Status Options Policy
SystemA 4 FC ready 2FF70002AC000060 mirror_config
SystemC 5 IP ready mirror_config
