Step 1: Starting The Wizard; Step 2: Selecting The Primary Volume; Step 3: Selecting The Replication Mode - HP P2000 Reference Manual

Step 1: Starting the wizard

1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Wizards > Replication Setup Wizard.
The wizard panel appears.
2. Click Next to continue.

Step 2: Selecting the primary volume

Select the volume whose data you want to replicate. If the volume has at least one snapshot, you can select
a snapshot to be the replication source.
To select the primary volume
1. Set the options:
• Select the vdisk that contains the volume to replicate. Only vdisks that contain at least one volume
are listed for selection.
• Select the volume to replicate. Only volumes that are not already part of a replication set are listed
for selection.
2. Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Selecting the replication mode

Select the replication mode, which specifies whether the secondary volume is in the local system or a
remote system. If you want to replicate to a remote system that hasn't already been added to the local
system, you can add it.
To replicate within the local system
1. Select Local Replication.
2. Although it is recommended to check host-port links between controllers in the local system, if you
already know the status of links you can clear the Check Links checkbox to skip this task.
3. Click Next to continue. If there are no links between the controllers, a message appears, and only
vdisks and volumes that are owned by the same controller as the primary volume will appear in the
next step.
To replicate to a remote system
Select Remote Replication.

2. In the Remote System list, look for the remote system that you want to use.

a. Enter the IP address of a network port on the remote system.
b. Enter the user name of a user with a Manage role on the remote system.
c. Enter that user's password.
d. Click Add Remote System. If task succeeds, the new remote system appears in the Remote System
list and is selected.
4. Although it is recommended to check host-port links between the two systems, this can take up to 3
minutes, so if you already know the status of links you can clear the Check Links checkbox to skip this
task.
5. Click Next to continue. If there are no links to the remote system, a message appears and you cannot
proceed. For a combo system, if only one link type is up, only that link type will appear in the next step.
