Configuring 1-to-N Remote Copy
Note: 3PAR Remote Copy requires a 3PAR Remote Copy license. For
additional information about the license, see the 3PAR InForm OS Concepts
Guide.
In a 1-to-N Remote Copy relationship, a single primary (source) InServ Storage Server uses
multiple InServ Storage Servers as backup servers. 1-to-N Remote Copy configurations can
operate in either a combination of unidirectional and bidirectional (for a single Remote Copy
group pair), or in complete unidirectional functionality. For the current release, a 1-to-N
Remote Copy configuration can have a maximum of two backup servers.
Note: In order to configure 1-to-N Remote Copy, you must have at least two
available InServ Storage servers with configured Remote Copy ports.

1. In the Manager Pane, click Remote Copy.
2. In the Common Actions panel, click New Configuration.
