Hitachi TrueCopy/HUR Discovery Host prerequisites
For the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) to discover Hitachi TrueCopy storage arrays, ensure that your storage network's physical connections and device settings are properly configured.
The physical connection requirements are as follows:
Fiber channel or Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) should directly attach the hosts to the Hitachi TrueCopy array that contains the TrueCopy P-VOL / S-VOL devices.
The device setup requirements include the following:
The host must be configured with Command Control Interface (CCI) provided by Hitachi TrueCopy.
The IMS discovers all Hitachi storage arrays with a Fiber Channel or SCSI connection to a discovery host where CCI is installed. It discovers TrueCopy as well as Shadow Instances of Hitachi.
The IMS Supports TrueCopy on all microcode levels on all the arrays, only if the host, HBA, and array combination is supported by Hitachi.
Veritas Resiliency Platform supports All Levels of CCI for IMS discovery of the Hitachi TrueCopy storage enclosures.
To discover and manage Hitachi TrueCopy/HUR replication technology, you need to create appropriate HTC/HUR device groups on hosts which have Hitachi Command Devices mapped. Device groups need to be defined on such hosts in both the production and recovery data centers. You must add these hosts to the local IMSs so that Resiliency Platform can discover the device groups.
