26.10.2 Create paths
When using the DS CLI to create new paths from a source LSS to a target LSS, use the
procedure we discuss here. This process must be repeated for every path you need to define.
Remember that you have to define paths between site 1 and site 2, for Global Copy
replication, and eventually you will also have to define paths within site 1 if the Master and
Subordinates are on different storage disk subsystems.
The first step in this procedure is to find out which I/O ports are available for the definition of
Global Copy paths between the source and the target LSSs. For this, use the following
command:
dscli lsavailpprcport -remotewwnn <WWN of your remote Storage Image>
<Source_LSS_ID>:<Target_LSS_ID> -cfg <Source device configuration file>
Example 26-47 shows the command and the corresponding output information: a list of
available ports from the source LSS 65 in the storage disk subsystem at site 1, to the target
LSS 65 in the storage disk subsystem at site 2.
Example 26-47 lsavailpprcport
dscli lsavailpprcpport -remotewwnn 5005076303FFC426 65:65 -cfg $DSCLI/profile/DS-01.profile

An I/O port number has four digits to indicate its location:
The first digit locates the frame - R.
The second digit indicates the I/O enclosure - E.
The third digit is for the adapter - C.
The fourth digit is for the Adapter port - P.
The second step in this process is to choose at least a pair from the list of available I/O ports
and create a path. For availability reasons, use at least two links for path definitions.
