Business Continuity Manager

Business Continuity Manager (BCM) runs in the mainframe under z/OS providing operation,
monitoring, and scripting for BC Z. In addition, BCM provides the ability to perform an ATTIME
Suspend.
For more information about BCM, see
(page 22).

Remote Web Console

Use RWC to complete the following:
Install the BC Z license key, which enables it.
Configure the HP XP7 storage system.
Perform the initial and update copy operations.
Monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot the HP XP7 storage system.
RWC communicates with the HP XP7 over defined TCP/IP connections. RWC is LAN-attached to
HP XP7.
For more information about using RWC, see the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide.
RAID Manager
RAID Manager is a tool that uses the command line interface to run commands that perform most
of the same tasks you can do with the RWC. You can either run pair commands directly from a
separate open system host by using a configured open system command device. You can script
RAID Manager commands on the open system host. RAID Manager does not provide any control
or monitoring capability directly from the mainframe operating environment.
For more information about using RAID Manager, see the HP XP7 RAID Manager User Guide.

Consistency groups

Use a consistency group (CG) to perform tasks on the BC Z pairs in the group at the same time,
including consistency group pair-split tasks. Using a CG to perform tasks ensures the consistency
of the pair status for all pairs in the group.

Volume pairs

A volume pair consists of a P-VOL and one to three S-VOLs.
Because S-VOLs are updated asynchronously, the P-VOL and S-VOLs may not be identical except
immediately after a split. If a pair is split, any further updates to the P-VOL will not be reflected in
the S-VOL.
Splitting or deleting a pair allows the host access to the S-VOL.
