Configure the replication interfaces. This includes collecting the IP address for each
configured
rep0
interface, collecting routing information between the controllers, and making
sure that each route is specified at each controller instance to assure the proper use of the
replication ports and replication paths.

Configure replication by creating a replication policy using Symphony Help. Using Symphony,
start the process for creating a replication policy by selecting
Manage > Devices >
Replications
.
In addition to creating replication policies, Symphony Help describes a variety of replication-
related procedures that include how to edit or delete a replication policy, manually start or stop
a replication process, and export replication data. For more details on managing replication
operations, see the topic on replication in the latest version Symphony Help.
Connecting 7700 FSP Cluster Storage Devices
This section describes how to make southbound connections that connect the cabling from the
storage shelves to the FC switches, and from the FC switches to the 7700 FSP Controllers.
Southbound connections use Fibre Channel cabling to connect each of the 7700 FSP Controllers
to both FC switches, and from both FC switches to the storage shelves/arrays.
Note:
The ports in 7700 FSP Controller rear panel HBA slots 4 and 5 are southbound ports to the
storage cluster and are configured as initiator ports.
