How to configure Fibre Transport for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC
Table: FT configuration process for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC provides an overview of how to configure Fibre Transport(FT) on the appliance for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC.
Table: FT configuration process for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC
Step | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Determine whether your appliance HBA configuration supports FT for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. Note: The HBA configuration of 53xx C and 5240 H support optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC, but can only support using the appliance as a source. | Identify your appliance HBA configuration. See About the NetBackup 5230 rear panel configurations. See NetBackup 5240 Appliance I/O configuration options. See NetBackup 5330 Appliance compute node PCIe slot I/O configuration options. Determine whether your appliance HBA configuration supports FT for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. See Fibre Channel feature support with appliance HBA configurations. |
Step 2 | Learn about FT for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. | See About Fibre Transport for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication between appliances. |
Step 3 | Learn about default HBA port mode for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over FC. | |
Step 4 | Create FT storage zones. | Select HBA ports and learn about zoning best practices. See About zoning the SAN for NetBackup appliances. Determine the appliance HBA WWPNs for zoning. |
Step 5 | Configure FT settings for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. | Configure FT settings on the source appliance. See Configuring Fibre Transport to other NetBackup appliances. Configure FT settings on the targe 52xx and 53xx appliance. See Configuring Fibre Transport on a target appliance for optimized duplication and replication. |
