Setting Up the Systems for Bidirectional Remote Copy
In bidirectional Remote Copy, the backup system (for example, System2) also contains primary
volume groups and therefore is also considered a primary system for the purposes of the primary
volume groups it contains.
Verify that unidirectional 1-to-1 Remote Copy is already set up.
• If a unidirectional 1-to-1 configuration is already set up, proceed to “Creating Volume Groups
for Bidirectional Remote Copy” (page 78).
If unidirectional 1-to-1 Remote Copy is set up, the required links between the Remote Copy
systems already exist. To create a bidirectional configuration, you only need to create primary
