Removing Remote Copy Links To remove a Remote Copy link: 1. Access the Remote Copy Links screen. 2. In the right pane, select the link(s) you wish to remove. 3. Right-click the selection and then click Remove Link. The Remove Remote Copy Link(s) dialog box appears. 4. (Optional) If you wish to remove the selected link and its peers at the same time, select Remove peer Remote Copy links. 5. Click OK. Pinging RCIP Links When creating Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) links, you are provided the opportunity to configure and ping the link ports to verify their validity and communication. When pinging RCIP link ports: • You can click Details in the Port Configuration or Ping dialog boxes to show or hide details about the configuration or ping operation, respectively. • If the MTU value (maximum transmission unit) of the ports is different, for example one value 1500 and the other value 9000, the lower packet size (1500) is used during the ping operation. • If both ports' MTU values are 9000, Jumbo Ping is displayed as the Ping group box title. Configuring and Pinging the Remote Copy Links Clicking Apply after entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link creation results in the entered configuration first being tested to check its validity, and then proceeding with the ping operation to check communication between the link ports. The ping is not executed if the configuration fails. Pinging the Remote Copy Links Clicking Ping after entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link creation results in a ping operation on the entered link ports. Managing Remote Copy Targets Remote Copy target definitions are descriptors on one Remote Copy system that identify another a Remote Copy system. In a Remote Copy server pair, the systems are each defined as targets, relative to each other, for Remote Copy operations. The HP 3PAR Management Console allows you to perform the following operations: "Creating Remote Copy Targets" (page 206) "Editing Remote Copy Targets" (page 209) "Removing Remote Copy Targets" (page 209) Creating Remote Copy Targets You can add Remote Copy targets to your existing Remote Copy configuration(s). • If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you will effectively create a 1-to-N, or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration. • If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-N or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you will be adding an additional backup or primary target, respectively. 206 Configuring and Managing Remote Copy

Pinging RCIP Links
When creating Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) links, you are provided the opportunity to configure
and ping the link ports to verify their validity and communication.
When pinging RCIP link ports:
You can click
Details
in the
Port Configuration
or
Ping
dialog boxes to show or hide details
about the configuration or ping operation, respectively.
If the MTU value (maximum transmission unit) of the ports is different, for example one value
1500 and the other value 9000, the lower packet size (1500) is used during the ping
operation.
If both ports' MTU values are 9000,
Jumbo Ping
is displayed as the
Ping
group box title.
Configuring and Pinging the Remote Copy Links
Clicking
Apply
after entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link
creation results in the entered configuration first being tested to check its validity, and then
proceeding with the ping operation to check communication between the link ports. The ping is
not executed if the configuration fails.
Pinging the Remote Copy Links
Clicking
Ping
after entering or changing the requested link information during Remote Copy link
creation results in a ping operation on the entered link ports.
Managing Remote Copy Targets
Remote Copy target definitions are descriptors on one Remote Copy system that identify another
a Remote Copy system. In a Remote Copy server pair, the systems are each defined as targets,
relative to each other, for Remote Copy operations. The HP 3PAR Management Console allows
you to perform the following operations:
“Creating Remote Copy Targets” (page 206)
“Editing Remote Copy Targets” (page 209)
“Removing Remote Copy Targets” (page 209)
Creating Remote Copy Targets
You can add Remote Copy targets to your existing Remote Copy configuration(s).
If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you will effectively
create a 1-to-N, or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration.
If you add a new target to an existing 1-to-N or N-to-1 Remote Copy configuration, you will
be adding an additional backup or primary target, respectively.
