Description
Provides virtual storage capacity to simplify storage addition and administration,
eliminate application service interruptions, and reduce costs.
Enables the user to perform remote copy operations between storage systems
in different locations. Provides synchronous and asynchronous copy modes for
mainframe data.
Allows the user to create internal copies of volumes for purposes such as ap-
plication testing and offline backup. Can be used in conjunction with Continuous
Access Synchronous for Mainframe to maintain multiple copies of data at
primary and secondary sites.
Provides compatibility with the IBM FlashCopy mainframe host software function,
which performs server-based data replication for mainframe data.
Provides a RAID storage-based hardware solution for disaster recovery which
enables fast and accurate system recovery, particularly for large amounts of
data which span multiple volumes. Using Continuous Access Journal for Main-
frame, you can configure and manage highly reliable data replication systems
using journal volumes to reduce chances of suspension of copy operations.
Provides compatibility with the IBM Extended Remote Copy (XRC) mainframe
host software function, which performs server-based asynchronous remote copy
operations for mainframe LVIs.
Realizes the virtualization of the storage system. Users can connect other storage
systems to the disk array and access the data on the external storage system
over virtual devices on the disk array. Functions such as Continuous Access
Synchronous for Mainframe and Cache Residency can be performed on the
external data.
Provides storage logical partition and cache logical partition:
Storage logical partition allows you to divide the available storage among
various users to reduce conflicts over usage.
Cache logical partition allows you to divide the cache into multiple virtual
cache memories to reduce I/O contention.
Enables users to convert single volumes (LVIs or LUs) into multiple smaller volumes
to improve data access performance.
Allows users to lock and unlock data into cache in real time to optimize access
to your most frequently accessed data.
Enables the mainframe host to issue multiple I/O requests in parallel to single
LDEVs. Provides compatibility with the IBM Workload Manager (WLM) host
software function and supports both static and dynamic PAV functionality.
Allows users to restrict host access to data Mainframe users can restrict host
access to LVIs based on node IDs and logical partition (LPAR) numbers.
