Enter the necessary information, and then click Next.
The screen to set the copy group is displayed.
Select the existing copy group or enter the new created copy group name, and then click Next.
When using the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function, refer to [Point] later in this section to select a copy group.
The screen to set the copy pair is displayed.

Confirm the information, and then click Create.
Point
When using the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function, specify the copy group that was enabled for the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function when selecting a copy group in step 6. In this case, when selecting a copy pair in step 7, the volumes that can be specified as pairs are limited to TFOVs (volumes that have "/TFOV" in the character string in the Usage column).
Note
When creating a copy pair, if an encrypted volume for the copy source is specified, only encrypted volumes can be selected as a copy destination. If an unencrypted volume for the copy source is specified, only unencrypted volumes can be selected as a copy destination.
To create a copy pair of an encrypted volume and an unencrypted volume, use the acpair add command. Refer to "Command References" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for Copy Control Module for information on the command.
When not using the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function, do not specify TFOV for both copy source and copy destination. However, you can specify TFOV for either copy source or copy destination.
In Web Console, backups for volume content to partitions using the LU to Partition function of AdvancedCopy Manager CCM is not supported. For the LU to Partition function, use the AdvancedCopy Manager CCM commands. Refer to "LU to Partition" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for Copy Control Module for information on using LU to Partition function.
In an environment using the Copy command via LAN, creating lots of copy pairs all at once for the copy group of the SnapOPC+ copy type from Web Console may take some ten minutes to some hours to finish the processing. Consider the processing time to create copy pairs from Web Console or use the acpair add command to create copy pairs. Refer to "Command References" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for Copy Control Module for information on the command.
