Enabling or disabling remote access for a volume

About this task

Remote access allows you to make a virtual volume on a device in one cluster visible in the other cluster. Once you make a virtual volume remotely accessible, you can include the volume in storage views in either cluster. The virtual volume's Visibility attribute is Global in the Virtual Volumes view of both clusters. Note that you cannot disable remote access on a virtual volume that is currently exported. To disable remote access, you must first remove the virtual volume from the storage view.

NOTE Remote virtual volumes suspend I/O during inter-cluster link outages. As a result, the availability of the data on remote virtual volumes is directly related to the reliability of the inter-cluster link.
