Group Name Enter a unique name of from 1 - 128 characters. Duplicate access groups are not supported.
Initiators Select one or more initiators. Optionally, replace the initiator name by entering a new one. An
initiator is a backup client that connects to a system to read and write data using the Fibre
Channel (FC) protocol. A specific initiator can support DD Boost over FC or DD VTL, but not

endpoint is the logical target on the protection system to which the initiator connects.
Configure HA
Prerequisites
● The HA interconnect between both nodes is connected.
NOTE: Connecting the HA interconnect on page 68 describes how to cable the HA interconnect.
● The data connections on both nodes are connected.
About this task
Configure the two nodes as an HA pair.
NOTE:
Configuring an HA pair sets the system password on the standby node to match the system password on the active
node, however, that synchronization is not set until the HA configuration is complete. If the HA configuration fails, or if
there is a need to access either node before the HA configuration is complete, use the serial number of each node as the
password.
Steps
1. Verify the certificate subject name on the primary node.
