Storage system preparation
To prepare the storage systems for global-active device operations:
•
Make sure that the primary, secondary, and external storage systems
meet the global-active device system requirements described in chapter
2.
•
Make sure that the primary storage system is configured to report sense
information to the host. The secondary system should also be attached to
a host server to report sense information in the event of a problem with
an S-VOL or the secondary storage system.
•
If power sequence control cables are used, set the power source selection
switch for the cluster to "Local" to prevent the server from cutting the
power supply to the primary system. In addition, make sure that the
secondary system is not powered off during GAD operations.
•
Establish the physical paths between the primary and secondary systems.
Switches and channel extenders can be used. For details, see
•
Make sure that additional shared memory has been installed and
configured in the primary and secondary storage systems. Make sure that
the cache in both storage systems works normally. Pairs cannot be
created if cache requires maintenance.
Configure the cache on the secondary system so that it can adequately
support the remote copy workload and all local workload activity.
When determining the amount of cache required for GAD, consider the
amount of Cache Residency Manager data that will also be stored in
cache.
Note:
If a GAD pair is in COPY status, you cannot install or remove cache
or shared memory. When either of these tasks needs to be performed,
you need to split the pairs in COPY status first, then perform and
complete the cache or shared memory installation or removal, and then
resynchronize the pairs.
•
Make sure that the appropriate host modes and host mode options
(HMOs) are set. For more information, see the
Hitachi Virtual Storage
Platform G1000 Provisioning Guide for Open Systems.
¢
HMO 78, the nonpreferred path option, must be configured to specify
nonpreferred paths for HDLM operations.
¢
HMOs 49, 50, and 51 can be used to improve response time of host
I/O for distance direct connections (up to 10 km Long Wave).
•
Make sure that the appropriate system option modes (SOMs) are set on
your storage systems. The SOMs enable you to tailor the storage system
to your unique operating requirements and are set on the service
processor by your Hitachi Data Systems representative.
The following table lists and describes the SOMs that apply to remote
copy operations, including global-active device and TrueCopy. The
settings of these SOMs affects both global-active device and TrueCopy
operations. For a list of the SOMs, see the
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform
G1000 Hardware Guide.
