Adding A Copy Services 2105 Domain To A Storage Complex - IBM DS8000 User Manual

Remote mirror and copy with the System i Copy Services Toolkit
Like the Toolkit for FlashCopy, once configured and implemented, the
remote mirror and copy Toolkit manages all of the System i functions that
are necessary to allow you generate a second copy of the IASP on another
storage unit.
Backup Recovery and Media Services with FlashCopy
Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) for System i is software that helps
manage your backups and provides you with an orderly way to retrieve lost or
damaged data.
Using BRMS, you can manage your most critical and complex backups simply and
easily. You can also recover your system fully in the event of a disaster or failure.
In addition to these backup and recovery features, BRMS enables you to track all
of your backup media from creation to expiration. You no longer have to keep
track of which backup items are on which volumes or worry that you will
accidentally write over active data.
The BRMS implementation of FlashCopy provides a way to perform a backup on a
system that was copied using the FlashCopy function. BRMS history appears like
the backup was performed on the production system.

Adding a Copy Services 2105 domain to a storage complex

Complete this task to set up a Copy Services 2105 domain using the DS Storage
Manager.
Copy Services functions are available through the DS Storage Manager that is
installed on a management console. The management console is the focal point for
configuration and Copy Services functions.
Configuring a Copy Services domain on the DS Storage Manager allows you to
perform Copy Services functions between machine type 2105 and machine type
2107/242x. The mirroring solutions are compatible between the 2105 (ESS Models
750 and 800) and 2107/242x.
For this example, assume that you want to configure a 2105 Copy Services domain
using the DS Storage Manager. The 2107/242x must authenticate with the 2105
before you can perform Copy Services functions. Because of the single login
process used by the 2107/242x to access the 2105, the user names and passwords
the objects they are protecting. The System ASP and all the user
ASPs together are called traditional ASPs.
An independent auxiliary storage pool is an independent disk pool.
It is a method of configuring multiple disk units into one group.
(Disk pool, IASP, and database are sometimes used interchangeably.)
An IASP can be varied online or offline together independent of the
rest of the storage on a system, including the system ASP, user ASPs,
and other independent disk pools. After IASPs are implemented, the
FlashCopy operation can be applied to just the IASP, not the entire
system.
