Data Protection - Hitachi VSP F1500 User And Reference Manual

displays remote replication information and allows you to perform operations
by issuing commands or by executing script files.
For remote copy operations, CCI interfaces with the system software and
high-availability (HA) software on the host as well as the software on the
RAID storage system. CCI provides failover operation commands that support
mutual hot standby in conjunction with industry-standard failover products
(for example, MC/ServiceGuard, HACMP, FirstWatch®). CCI also supports a
scripting function for defining multiple operations in a script (or text) file.
Using CCI scripting, you can set up and execute a large number of commands
in a short period of time while integrating host-based high-availability control
over copy operations.

Data protection

CCI supports data protection operations, including Hitachi Database Validator
and Hitachi Data Retention Utility.
• Database Validator. The CCI software provides commands to set and
verify parameters for volume-level validation checking of Oracle
database operations. Once validation checking is enabled, all write
operations to the specified volumes must have valid Oracle checksums.
CCI reports a validation check error to the syslog file each time an error is
detected. Database Validator requires the operation of CCI software
product but cannot be controlled via the Storage Navigator software.
• Data Retention Utility. The CCI software enables you to set and verify the
parameters for guarding at the volume level. Once guarding is enabled,
the RAID storage system conceals the target volumes from SCSI
commands such as SCSI Inquiry and SCSI Read Capacity, prevents
reading and writing to the volume, and protects the volume from being
used as a copy volume (the TrueCopy, Universal Replicator, global-active
device, or ShadowImage paircreate operation fails).
