Storage port registration as a Disaster Recovery port

For Isilon systems, it is recommended that there be a dedicated SmartConnect Zone for data access, per SyncIQ Policy, rather than sharing the SmartConnect Zone between policies. After a port is registered as a Disaster Recovery port, the dedicated port is picked up for SyncIQ activities.

To register a storage port as a Disaster Recovery port:

1. Select Physical > Storage Systems.
2. Locate the row for the storage system in which the ports reside.
3. Click Ports in the Edit column.
4. Select the box in the first column of the port row.
5. Click Set as DR Port to register the storage port as a Disaster Recovery port, or Unset as DR Port to de-register the storage port as a Disaster Recovery port.

Or

Search on "Isilon" and check out the hit that says "File Protection Policy Templates":
