ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager 14.1 Operator's Guidefor Copy Control Module

1.3 System Configuration

This section explains the system configuration for AdvancedCopy Manager CCM.

With AdvancedCopy Manager CCM, there must be a logical path between the CCM server and the ETERNUS disk storage systems so that the CCM server can issue advanced copy instructions to the ETERNUS disk storage systems. This logical path is referred to as "access path". To create an access path, the ETERNUS disk storage systems must have a logical volume for control purposes.

For using intra-box copy (OPC, QuickOPC, SnapOPC+ or EC)

Connect one of the logical volumes on the ETERNUS disk storage systems to be backed up to the CCM server as an access path.

Figure 1.2 Sample configuration where intra-box copy is executed

For using inter-box copy (REC)

To execute REC using AdvancedCopy Manager CCM, there must be an access path on either the copy source or the copy destination.

Point

In Windows version and Solaris/Linux version, it is different to register the procedure of ETERNUS disk storage systems which are not connected with SAN environment and use REC (hereafter called the "remote ETERNUS disk storage systems"). For details of the registration procedure, refer to "2.2.6 Registering ETERNUS disk storage systems".
