7 steps to setup 3PAR remote copy
Step #1. Starting remotecopy
Step #2. Setting up copy target
Step #3. Checking the links
Step #4. Creating Volume Groups for Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy
Step #5. Add luns to the remote volume group
Step #6. Status
Step #7. Start replication
Please review 3PAR Remote Copy Software User's Guide 3.1.2 under attachment for more details.
Step #1. Starting remotecopy
Starting rcopy on source
3par1 cli% startrcopy
Starting rcopy on target
3par2 cli% startrcopy
Step #2. Setting up copy target
Setting Up the Primary System
creatercopytarget IP : :
3par1 cli% creatercopytarget 3par2 IP 2:6:1:19.220.33.145 3:6:1:19.220.33.146
Setting Up the Backup Systems
creatercopytarget IP : :
3par2 cli% creatercopytarget 3par1 IP 2:6:1:19.162.27.7 3:6:1:19.162.27.8
Step #3. Checking the links
Checking the Links between Systems
3par1 cli% showrcopy

receive 3:6:1 receive Up
Step #4. Creating Volume Groups for Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy
creatercopygroup :
automatic synchronization.sync command
3par1 cli% creatercopygroup group-remotecopy1 3par2:sync
3par1 cli% creatercopygroup group-bcom-nearline 3par2:periodicsync| periodic
(for synchrouns and async mode)
(Optional).
If you are creating a volume group that uses periodic modeperiod commands
setrcopygroup period s|m|h|d
or
setrcopygroup period s|m|h|d -pat setrcopygroup period 1h 3par2 group-remotecopy1
setrcopygroup period 1h 3par2 -pat
Auto recover setting:
setrcopygroup pol auto_recover
setrcopygroup pol auto_recover -pat
Step #5. Add luns to the remote volume group
On the source, add the pre-existing virtual volume(s) to the volume group
admitrcopyvv
admitrcopyvv -pat
admitrcopyvv VV-NL-RCOPYTEST4-R5 group-remotecopy1 3par2:VV-NL-RCOPYTEST1-R5
admitrcopyvv -pat VV-NL-RCOPYTEST1-R5 group-remotecopy1 3par2:VV-NL-RCOPYTEST1-R5
3par1 cli% admitrcopyvv VV-NL-RCOPYTEST4-R5 group-remotecopy1 3par2:VV-NL-RCOPYTEST1-R5
3par1 cli% admitrcopyvv VV-NL-RCOPYTEST5-R5 group-remotecopy1 3par2:VV-NL-RCOPYTEST2-R5
3par1 cli% admitrcopyvv VV-NL-RCOPYTEST6-R5 group-remotecopy1 3par2:VV-NL-RCOPYTEST3-R5
