Problems setting up RCFC on new 3pars
Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2014 7:37 am
Guys,
I've just had 2 new 3pars running 3.2.1 MU1 installed.
And i want to setup RCFC between the 2. I've used the following ports as in the picture below. and i've zoned the peer ports and the RCFC ports together as per each colour.
I thought i would be able to set the remote copy ports t RCFC and the 3par would just accept it, but when i go in the remote copy tab in IMC i can create a new one, but it only sees the ports i've listed as peer ports.
Just to confirm the peer ports are going to be permanently reserved for peer motion. So on the main 3par they are set as Host Ports and on the secondary 3par they are set to be peer ports.
Can anyone confirm if to setup RCFC did these ports need to be set to a mode that wasn't RCFC? as i've had the zoning setup to use the RCFC port WWN.
I've also tried changing the 2 remote copy links on the primary 3par to Host and when i try to create a new config it now lets me select the ports. But when i try to draw the lines across and apply i get the errors in the second screen shot.
any advice greatly appreciated.
