Figure 4 Relationship of primary versus secondary volume groups on primary and backup storage servers
Remote Copy pairs
Remote Copy configurations are based on the relationship between a storage system pair, also known as the Remote Copy pair. Within this pair, the primary storage system is the system that holds the volumes that are copied to a backup or secondary storage system, also known as a remote storage system.
Remote Copy volume groups
Remote Copy operations are performed on groups of virtual volumes called Remote Copy volume groups. A Remote Copy volume group is a group of volumes on the same storage system that are logically related and for which there is a
Remote Copy uses volume groups to define a set of volumes for which applications might issue dependent writes.
Remote Copy ensures that the data in the volumes within a group maintain write consistency. When Remote Copy operations are started or stopped, this is done for the whole group. When
You must configure a single Remote Copy volume group for a cluster group in Windows clustering. This Remote Copy volume group must include all virtual volumes being used for the application service. The Remote Copy volume group is the unit in which HP 3PAR Cluster Extension failover operations are carried out. A given HP 3PAR Cluster Extension cluster resource can manage only one Remote Copy volume group.
