Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Add SDR

Add an additional SDR to an existing PowerFlex system, or add back a new SDR if a previously existing SDR was removed. A minimum of two SDRs are required on each replication system. Each SDR must be configured with one or more IP addresses and roles.

About this task

The SDR communicates with several components, including: SDC (application), SDS (storage) and remote SDR (external). When an IP address is added to an SDR, the role or roles of the IP address must be defined. The IP address role determines the component with which that IP address communicates. For example, the application role means that the associated IP address is used for SDR-SDC communication. By default, all the roles are selected for an IP address.

SDR components must be deployed as resources before you can add them using this procedure.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Protection > SDRs.
  2. Click Add SDR.
  3. In the Add SDR dialog box, enter the connection information of the SDR:
    1. Enter the SDR name.
    2. If necessary, modify the SDR port number.
    3. Select the relevant protection domain.
    4. Enter the IP address of the SDR.
    5. Select one or more roles, for example, default: all roles are selected.
    6. If the SDR has more than one IP address, click Add IP to add more IP addresses and their roles.
    7. Click Add SDR to initiate a connection with the peer system.
  4. Verify that the operation has finished and was successful, and click Dismiss.
