Issues configuring SANCopy between CX-700(Flare 19) and CX4-480(Flare 28)
I am having issue configuring SANcopy between CX700(Flare 19) and CX4-480 (Flare 28). I am getting error "SPB:
The destination device could not be found. This is probably due to incorrect zoning on the switch or the device is not
the correct storage group.0x712a8021".
a quick description of the environment right now.
* Both CX700 and CX4-480 have SANCopy enabled and are in Multi-Domain Management .
* Both fabrics connected directly SP to SP -No Fiber Switch Zoning involved-.. CX700-A3 to CX4-480-A8 ,
CX700-B3 to CX4-480-B8.They both see each other on the connectivity status.
* I see all connections when I check SANCopy connection summary from any one of them.
* From the CX700, I can pick the CX4-480-SPa or CX4-480-SPb , when I right click on any storage group ,
SANCopy, connections. I don`t see the CX700-SPA or CX700-SPB when I do the same from any Storage group on
CX4-480. I only see CX4-480-SPB ports 0,1,2,3,7,8.
* When I tried to create ¿Full Copy¿ SANCopy session , I had no problem picking the source and destination LUNs
(Same Size LUNs, all on SPB on both Fabrics) but gave me error when clicked ¿Finish¿.
Any ideas what may be the problem.

Pls. read the White Paper "MirrorView Knowledgebook: Flare 28 A Detailed Review". U can refer to page 24 / Table 7 for software version interoperability between primary and secondary images.
It states that mirrorview imges on CX4(R28) are supported to/fro R23 for AX4-5 and R24 for CX series onwards. So, you will need to upgrade flare on CX700 to atleast R23 to be in preferred connectivity status.
The document is available @ powerlink on
Home > Products > Software E-O > MirrorView > White Papers- Array-to-array interoperability considerations for SAN Copy are not the same as for MirrorView. SAN Copy is a fairly general push or pull model controlled by one of the arrays in the session, whereas MirrorView is a much more tightly coupled co-operation between two arrays (hence, SAN Copy can be used between CLARiiON and non-CLARiiON arrays, whereas MirrorView is between CLARiiON arrays only). In any case, please be aware that the discussion about revision interoperability in the MirrorView Knowledgebook, is not directly applicable to SAN Copy configurations. If the original poster finds that further investigation is still needed (I realize this thread is now a couple weeks old) it would be best to directly open a support case.
