Remote copy using RCIP

[CadenLange]

Hi
When using remote copy over IP only (RCIP only and not RCFC) what is the maximum number of remote copy relationships I can configure?
Specifically I have a two node 3par 7400 that is already configured with a remote copy relationship with two other 3par arrays (using RCIP for both). I now want to create a third remote copy relationship from this 7400 with a new Primera array (again just using RCIP). Is this possible or would I need to add additional controllers into the 7400 first?

Many thanks in advance

Hello @CadenLange,

The system supports upto 4 remote copy targets. But the limitation is the RCIP port availability while you are using 2 nodes in your 7400. If you have additional RCIP port (or you can convert an additional port to RCIP) you can add one more remote copy target. If ports are not available, then you must add 2 more nodes to add further remote copy targets.
