Establishing the Relationship between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems (Add DKC)
The Add DKC window (see Figure
One primary storage system can be associated with up to 64 secondary storage systems. Up to eight logical paths can be configured between one primary storage system and one secondary storage system. Therefore, one primary storage system can have up to 512 logical paths to secondary storage systems.
To associate the primary and secondary storage systems and then configure logical paths between the two storage systems, both the primary storage system administrator and the secondary storage system administrator must perform this operation:
1.Make sure the remote copy connections and ports are properly configured. Also, get the serial number of the remote storage system.
Note: To get the serial number of the remote storage system, ask the administrator of the remote storage system. The serial number will be displayed in the Storage Navigator main window when the Storage Navigator user logs into the storage system.
2.Ensure that the Storage Navigator main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, please refer to Storage Navigator User’s Guide.
3.Ensure that the DKC Operation window is displayed.
4.In Display, select DKC.
5.Select LDKC from the tree.

The Add DKC window appears (refer to Figure
7.In the Add DKC window, enter the following:
–the serial number of the remote storage system
–the LDKC number of the remote storage system
“00” is displayed when the remote storage system is TagmaStore USP/NSC.
–the controller ID of the remote storage system (model name that indicates the model)
Note: The controller ID for a USP V storage system is 5(USP V).
–the path group ID
