Configuration

About This Chapter

This chapter describes how to configure HyperMetro, including configuration preparations,
process, and procedures.

4.1 Configuration Process

Before configuring HyperMetro, you must know the configuration process to ensure smooth
operations.

4.2 Configuration Preparations

This section describes prerequisites and documents that you must prepare before you
configure HyperMetro.

4.3 Configuring Switch

This section describes the configuration requirements of core switches and access switches at
the network layer and configuration procedure of the Fibre Channel switches at the storage
layer.

4.4 Configure Quorum Server Software

This section describes how to configure the quorum server software. Quorum server software
needs to be configured only when a quorum server is used for HyperMetro.

4.5 Configuring Basic Storage Services

This section describes how to configure basic storage services for the HyperMetro solution.

4.6 Creating NAS HyperMetro

This chapter describes how to create a NAS HyperMetro.

4.7 Verifying the Configuration

After configured, you can view the status of the data on the local and remote storage systems
to check whether HyperMetro between the local and remote storage systems is successful.

4.1 Configuration Process

Before configuring HyperMetro, you must know the configuration process to ensure smooth
operations.

Figure 4-1

shows the configuration process of HyperMetro.
