7.2.1 Determining the server that performs replication

Determine the server that performs replication.

The following servers are used to perform replication:

Storage Management Server

Multiple Storage Servers are unified and operated centrally. The Storage Management Server can also be used as a Storage Server.

However, a Storage Management Server requires AdvancedCopy Manager to run under the Windows, Solaris or Linux operating systems.

Storage Server

AdvancedCopy Manager operations are performed.

AdvancedCopy Manager can run under the AIX OS in this case.

Figure 7.10 Configuration of the servers that perform replication

Note

The following requirements apply when system-to-system replication is performed using the REC function of ETERNUS disk storage systems:

  • The REC function must be installed in both systems.

  • Both systems must already be connected to each other using an FC remote adapter (FCRA).
    This is a connection that uses an FCRA, in which data flows only from the Initiator side to the Target side. For bi-directional copying, at least two FCRA connections are required.
