Note: At this point there are no VIs or VTs.<br />

6. Connect to the RA cluster IP <strong>and</strong> rescan the SAN, by running<br />

rescan_san from the Unisys <strong>SafeGuard</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> Management<br />

Application (GUI) or CLI.<br />

This recognizes the <strong>AP</strong>-<strong>7600B</strong> as the splitter, since the system VI is<br />

zoned to the RA targets.<br />

7. Using the Unisys <strong>SafeGuard</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> Management Application<br />

(GUI) or CLI, add the newly recognized splitter to the Unisys<br />

<strong>SafeGuard</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> configuration.<br />

8. Bind host initiators to virtual initiators, using the<br />

bind_host_initiators comm<strong>and</strong> on the Unisys <strong>SafeGuard</strong><br />

<strong>Solutions</strong> Management Application (GUI) or CLI.<br />

The comm<strong>and</strong> returns the WWN of the virtual initiator that has<br />

been created <strong>and</strong> bound to the initiator.<br />

9. After binding the virtual initiators to the host initiators, you must<br />

add the VIs to the zones <strong>and</strong> mask the VIs to the Unisys<br />

<strong>SafeGuard</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> replication volumes on the storage port.<br />

This exposes the virtual targets to the host initiators.<br />

10. Using the Unisys <strong>SafeGuard</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> Management Application<br />

(GUI) or CLI, rescan the SAN, <strong>and</strong> use the get_virtual_targets<br />

CLI comm<strong>and</strong> to obtain the virtual target mapping. Then, add<br />

these virtual targets to the zone.<br />

11. Rescan the SAN volumes.<br />

You should now be able to see the new volumes that are to be<br />

attached to the <strong>AP</strong>-<strong>7600B</strong> splitter.<br />

12. Attach the volumes to the new splitter. Use the attach as clean<br />

option, so that no full sweep will be required.<br />

13. Reconfigure multipathing software on the host, as necessary, so<br />

that host uses the new path. This may include bringing the new<br />

path into multipathing software control, <strong>and</strong> ensuring support for<br />

I/O to the volumes seen through the new virtual targets.<br />

14. Ensure that the replication volumes, journal volumes, <strong>and</strong><br />

repository volumes have at least one path each to/from both the<br />

<strong>AP</strong>-7420B <strong>and</strong> <strong>AP</strong>-<strong>7600B</strong>. The RAs also should see the repository<br />

<strong>and</strong> journal volumes from both platforms.<br />
