TFOVs are mirrored and maintained equally as a pair in the Primary storage and the Secondary storage. Because
the remote copy technology is using synchronization, to mirror between storage systems, besides configuring
the Storage Cluster-related settings, the copy path must also be set.

TFOV
Transparent Failover Volume (TFOV) is a volume in which the Storage Cluster setting is performed. Server ac-
cess is possible even when a failover occurs.
•
TFO group
A Transparent Failover (TFO) group is the operations unit for a failover in a single ETERNUS DX/AF, and a Stor-
age Cluster failover is performed for each group.
A TFO group has two states. "Active" indicates that access from a business server is enabled and "Standby" indi-
cates that access from a business server is disabled.
•
CA port pair
By sharing the WWPN/WWNN for the FC or by sharing the IP address and iSCSI name for the iSCSI with the CA
ports of two ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems, the Storage Cluster function performs a failover by controlling
the Link status of each CA port.
This pair of CA ports that share the WWPN and WWNN, or the IP address and iSCSI name is called a CA port
pair.
If a different IP address is used for the CA port pair with iSCSI, a failover and failback must be performed
manually so that the Primary storage and the Secondary storage recognize the path.
The following table provides the function specifications for the Storage Cluster.
