Set the fibre channel switch configuration settings for replication
All FC switches that are in the path from the source array to the destination array must be configured
to work in a CA EVA environment. For B-Series switches, access each switch by using Telnet, and
configure the switch as follows:
switchdisable
iodset (enables In Order Delivery)
aptpolicy 1 (enables port-based routing)
portCfgISLMode [slot/port] 1 (set for all MPX110 switch ports)
portCfgGport [slot/port] 1 (set for all MPX110 switch ports)
switchenable
Creating fabrics and zones
When implementing CA EVA with CLX EVA, follow the zoning guidelines described in the
Implementing Disaster Tolerance with Cluster Extension EVA section of this document.
Create data replication group(s)
A data replication group (DR group) is a CA EVA software connection between source virtual disks
and destination virtual disks. A DR group can contain virtual disks from multiple array disk groups,
but all DR group member virtual disks must be in the same array and must be set to use the same
preferred controller on the array.
HP Continuous Access EVA requires that all members (virtual disks) of a DR group be managed by the
same storage array controller. By default, one host port on the managing controller is used for
replication traffic.
HP recommends that all virtual disks used by a single application be in a single DR group. Only one
application per DR group is recommended. However, remember that applications, such as SQL
Server, can be implemented by using multiple application server instances.
