Configuration Utility Window - IBM DS8000 User Manual

v Disaster recovery
Double-click the IBMDS8000Util.exe shortcut on the desktop to access the SRM
Configuration Utility (see Figure 17). In both recovery scenarios, the user can opt
to back up the remote copy target volumes. If Pre-Configured is not checked,
check Backup Target Volume and set the appropriate Backup ExtPool ID. The ID
instructs the SRA to create FlashCopy backups of the remote copy target volumes.

Support Relationship Type
The Support Relationship Type specifies the types of relationships that the SRA
operates on. The default value is "Both Metro Mirror and Global Mirror," which
means SRA discovers all the Metro Mirror and Global Mirror relationships between
the protected site and the recovery site.
Note:
v SRA creates volumes by using the extent pool of the remote copy target volume
when any of the following situations are true:
– Test extent pool parity is inconsistent with the LSS of remote copy target
volume
– Backup extent pool parity is inconsistent with the LSS of remote copy target
volume
– Test or backup extent pool parity is empty
v If the SRA does not back up the target volumes, check the backups on the
storage or check the messages in the SRM log file.
