Configure a metro volume

About this task

Enabling metro configuration for a volume makes it visible to hosts from two PowerStore systems with a remote system connection.

The following volumes cannot be configured as metro:

  • A volume clone
  • A volume that is assigned with a protection policy that includes a replication rule
  • A volume that is a member of a volume group
  • A volume with a read-only protection policy
  • A volume that is being migrated or imported
  • A volume that is a read-only replication destination, left after replication is removed
NOTE:If a witness was configured for this PowerStore system, the metro volume is automatically assigned to the witness.

Steps

  1. Select Storage > Volume and select the checkbox of a volume.
  2. Select Protect > Configure Metro Volume.
    The Configure Metro Volume slide-out panel is displayed.
  3. Select a remote system or configure a new remote system.
  4. Optionally, select the placement of the volume on the remote system.
  5. Click Configure.
  6. On the remote system, map the configured metro volume to a host.
