You create paths between Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) devices through the ESS Specialist. You can use the Replication Manager Paths panel to view these paths and partnerships after they are established.
For an ESS, you must establish paths between a logical subsystem (LSS) in a source ESS and an LSS in a target ESS prior to creating a replication session for a copy task. If you add new volumes to a session, paths for those volumes must exist before the volumes are added. Replication Manager keeps track of the paths after the session is started, and restores them automatically after a freeze operation (which eliminates the paths as part of its implementation).
You establish a path using the ESS Copy Services interface. For information about how to use the interface to establish paths between ESS storage devices, see the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Web Interface User's Guide.
The Replication Manager Paths panel enables you to view paths between ESS devices.
