Configuring preconfigured environments

If the Pre-Configured Env option is selected, some pre-configuration steps are necessary before Spectrum Virtualize Family SRA can function properly.

To complete these tasks you must use the storage system GUI or tools that are part of the storage system that you use.
  1. Create an equal number of FlashCopy® (target) volumes as the Remote Copy target volumes on the recovery (secondary) site storage system.
  2. Create a background copy and incremental FlashCopy mapping between Remote Copy target volumes and the previously created FlashCopy target volumes on the recovery site storage system.
  3. If the remote copies are in a consistency group, create a corresponding FlashCopy consistency group and configure the corresponding FlashCopy to the FlashCopy consistency group.
  4. Map the Remote Copy target and FlashCopy target volumes to the recovery site vSphere servers.
  5. Create an equal number of FlashCopy (target) volumes as the Remote Copy source volumes on the protected (primary) site storage system.
  6. Create a background copy and incremental FlashCopy mapping between Remote Copy source volumes and the previously created FlashCopy target volumes on the protected site storage system.
  7. If the remote copies are in a consistency group, create a corresponding FlashCopy consistency group and configure the corresponding FlashCopy to the FlashCopy consistency group.
  8. Map the Remote Copy source and FlashCopy target volumes to the protected site vSphere servers.
