Adding Logical Paths

The Add Path window (see Figure 5-5) allows you to add one or more logical paths between the local and remote storage systems.

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. When you add a logical path, URz will automatically start using the new logical path to perform URz copy activities.

To add one or more new logical paths between the local and remote storage systems, follow the procedure below. Not only the primary storage system administrator but also the secondary storage system administrator can perform this operation:

1.Make sure the remote copy connections are properly configured.

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.Do either of the following:

In the tree, select a remote storage system.

In the list, select and right-click a remote storage system and then select Edit Path(s) from the pop-up menu. The list displays information about logical paths.

6.Right-click the list and then select Add Path from the pop-up menu. The Add Path window appears (Figure 5-5).

7.Use the Add Path window to configure new logical paths. Up to eight paths can be configured.

8.Select Set to close the Add Path window.

9.See the Preview list to check the settings that you have made.

If you want to modify a setting, select and right-click the setting from the Preview list and then select Modify. A window appears and allows you to modify the setting.

If you want to cancel a setting, select and right-click the setting in the Preview list and then select Cancel.

10.Select Apply to apply the settings that you have made.

Note: If an error occurs, the rightmost column of the Preview list displays the error code. To view detailed information about the error, right-click the error code and then select Error Detail. An error message appears and gives you detailed information about the error.
