Hello everyone.

We have recently installed two FS7300's. We are trying to configure PBHA but get stuck when configuring the partnership. The 'Use policy based replication' checkbox is greyed out. I am not sure why that happened. 
I have zoned the ports using the physical wwpn in a virtual fabric. I don't see any blocked ports in the 'Settings -> Network -> Fibre Channel Connectivity' GUI web page.
Please advise. Thanks.

If the connection between two systems is not correct, it will warn you "No Fibre Channel candidates - The system does not detect any Fibre Channel candidates". What is the code level of these systems?

I have a candidate. 

What I mean is that in my case the check-box is greyed out, as if I've missed something. 

This picture is an example, so you can see what I am trying to tell.

Yes, I did, and I was able to do the partnership. But I did not know how to enable policy-based replication with the CLI, which is a prerequisite for PBHA.

Hola @Alejandro Carmona,

If you already have the partnership created, you can make it PBR by:

chpartnership -pbrinuse yes <partnership id>

Yes, I did, and I was able to do the partnership. But I did not know how to enable policy-based replication with the CLI, which is a prerequisite for PBHA.

Have you already configured a replication policy?Go to Volume Group, there are the replication policies.Another thing, did you configure the partnership after doing the zoning?

Is it necessary to configure a replication policy before setting up the partnership?

I can set up a partnership if I don't want to use the 'Policy based replication' checkbox, but this is not the case, I need to select this checkbox and I can't because it is greyed out.
