M to N Remote Copy

Hi All, we're currently trying to get M to N remote copy (many to many) up and running.

There are 3 systems involved...

System A 3.1.2 MU3
System B 3.1.3 MU1
System C 3.1.3 MU1

System A currently has remote copy relationships with both System B and System C.

To take advantage of the new M to N remote copy feature, we ugpraded System B and C to 3.1.3 MU1.

Now that B and C are upgraded we would like to setup remote copy between B and C and continue to have System A replicate to and from B and C.

We tried creating the remote copy link between B and C but the option is greyed out from the management console.

Does this additional remote copy link need to be done from the command line or am I required to upgrade System A as well even though we are attempting to replicate between B and C?

Thanks for reading and appreciate any help!

We briefly had to do a M-N config and the IMC does not support the setup, you have to set up the links and stuff via CLI. Also once you d that you will loose some manageability via the IMC for RC and will have to use the CLI. If you revert back to 1:1 then the IMC will function normal again.
