4. Enter the following command on the first target system in the Remote Copy pair (in other words,
on the system on which you issued the startserver command; e.g., System2).
# checkrclink stopserver <N:S:P>
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 on each link and each system in the configuration.

Increasing MTU (Optional)
You can increase the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size if:
• The results of the link throughput and latency test display a value of 9000 in the Max MTU
row. For more information, see “Checking Link Throughput and Latency” (page 36).
• The GigE adapters are configured to use jumbo frames (9000-byte frames), and not the default
1500-byte frames.
• The IP network supports jumbo frames end-to-end (along the entire path between the two
storage systems).
A 9000-byte MTU setting uses larger fragments to improve link efficiency and results in improved
throughput between storage systems.
To increase the MTU:
1. Enter the controlport rcip mtu command:
# controlport rcip mtu 9000 <N:S:P>
• <N:S:P> - Location of the GigE port, expressed as node:slot:port
2. Repeat for all Remote Copy GigE ports on each storage system.
3. Verify that the network supports the increased MTU size. From a storage system, enter the
controlport rcip ping command:
# controlport rcip ping -s 8972 -pf <IP_address> <N:S:P>
• 8972 - Test packet size
• <IP_address> - IP address on the target system to ping
• <N:S:P> - Interface from which to ping
