Page 16: Overview Of Hp P9000 For Business Continuity Manager Software
1 Overview of HP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software This chapter describes the reasons for using Business Continuity Manager, as well as its features. It also explains example system features. It describes Business Continuity Manager system configurations, defines the terms used throughout this manual, and describes how Business Continuity Manager identifies and interacts with storage systems on different storage system models.
Page 17: Communication With Hp P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software
Business Continuity Manager provides centralized management of HP P9000 mainframe replication products, regardless of where they reside on the storage system. This provides many business benefits including: Improved business resilience and confidence through frequent, non-disruptive disaster recovery. Robust disaster recovery and planned outage functions, which make for smooth operations and dramatically reducing recovery times.
Page 18: Products That Can Be Controlled By Business Continuity Manager
Figure 1 Centralized management of Open-system and Mainframe-system Storage This centralized management of both open-system and mainframe-system storage can provide a number of advantages, including reduced operation times and quicker responses to failures. Products that can be controlled by Business Continuity Manager HP storage systems provide replication products such as Business Copy for Mainframe, Continuous Access Synchronous Mainframe, and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe.
Page 19: Business Copy For Mainframe (Bc Z)
A volume that contains the original data is called a primary volume (P-VOL). P-VOLs exist in storage systems that are directly connected to a host where Business Continuity Manager is installed. Remote storage systems (or in the case of Business Copy, duplicate volumes) are the copy destinations.
Page 20: Continuous Access Asynchronous For Mainframe (Cnt Ac-A)
Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-A) Stores data and control information for each P-VOL in a sidefile, and performs and manages the remote copying of volumes independently (asynchronously) of the host I/O processes. Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-J Z) Writes updated data and control information to the master journal on the primary site.
Page 21: Remote Volume Operations
Remote volume operations A command device defined in Business Continuity Manager allows you to remotely create copy pairs, remotely operate volumes, and remotely monitor the status of volumes. This allows you to reduce the operational costs of remote locations. “Remote Volume Operation” (page 21) explains remote volume operation.
Page 22: Grouping To Simplify Volume Operations
Grouping to simplify volume operations Business Continuity Manager can group together copy pairs to improve the operability of managing replicas of large-scale systems that handle substantial amounts of data. Copy pairs can be grouped together and managed as a single entity. These group types are: Copy groups (see “Copy groups”...
Page 23: Consistency Groups
Consistency groups A consistency group is a copy group recognized by a storage system. A consistency group updates the S-VOLs in the same order that data was put onto the P-VOLs. The data on an S-VOL is guaranteed to be identical to the data on a P-VOL at consistency times. Therefore, data at the secondary site can be used to recover the data at the primary site.
Page 24: Journal Groups
Table 1 Methods to preserve consistency for each copy type (continued) Copy type Consistency group ID Consistency group ID Consistency preservation method specification method consistency group ID and sub consistency group ID are specified in the Copy Group Attributes panel in which the copy group attributes are defined.
Page 25: Open/Mf Consistency Groups
Open/MF Consistency Groups When the Open/MF Consistency Preservation Function is used for Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe consistency groups, open-system copy groups and mainframe system copy groups within the same consistency group can be suspended at the same time, to preserve consistency between mainframe system copy groups and open-system copy groups within the same consistency group.
Page 26: Extended Consistency Groups
pairs that have the same copy type. When an operation is performed on a CG group container, it is performed on all of the pairs included in the container. CAUTION: Because Business Continuity Manager actually sends instructions to the storage system for each of the C/T groups included in a copy group container, consistency of each included consistency group on the primary site and on the secondary site is preserved.
Page 27: Terminology By Copy Type
When an Extended C/T Group ID (EXCTG ID) is specified in the copy group container, the container is registered in the storage system as an EXCTG, and consistency between the journal groups in that CG container is preserved. Specifying an EXCTG ID in a CG container is explained in “Defining an EXCTG”...
Page 28: 3Dc Cascade Configuration
3DC Cascade Configuration This configuration performs remote copying from the primary site to a nearby intermediate site and a distant remote site. Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe is used from the primary site to the intermediate site, and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe from the intermediate site to the secondary site.
Page 29: 2Dc Configuration With Hyperswap And Continuous Access Journal
2DC Configuration with HyperSwap and Continuous Access Journal This configuration allows operation at the primary site and secondary site under a 2DC configuration to start immediately after a primary storage system failure or maintenance by using HyperSwap. Both the primary storage system and local storage system are placed at the primary site, and a PPRC copy pair for which HyperSwaps are enabled is used.
Page 30: 4X4X4 Cascade Configuration
4x4x4 Cascade Configuration This configuration is a combination of a 4x4 configuration and a 3DC Cascade configuration. Between the primary site and the intermediate site, a Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe copy group is used. Between the intermediate site and the remote site, the Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy group that defined an extended consistency group (EXCTG) is used.
Page 31: 4X4X4 Multi-Target Configuration
4x4x4 Multi-Target Configuration This configuration is a combination of a 4x4 configuration and a 3DC Multi-Target configuration. Between the primary site and the local site, a Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe copy group is used. Between the primary site and the remote site, the Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy group that defined an extended consistency group (EXCTG) is used.
Page 32: Compatible Flashcopy Linkage Configuration
Compatible FlashCopy linkage configuration In this configuration, the same volume is used for a Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL and a Continuous Access Synchronous, XP Continuous Access Asynchronous, or Continuous Access Journal copy pair P-VOL. In this configuration, datasets created by using FlashCopy can be remotely copied to the secondary site by using TrueCopy, TrueCopy Asynchronous, or Universal Replicator.
Page 33: Disaster Recovery Functions
“Overview of Automatic Operations from BCM Monitor” (page 33) provides an overview of automatic operations from the BCM Monitor. Figure 6 Overview of Automatic Operations from BCM Monitor For the BCM Monitor, you can use all the functions in the XP and P9000 storage systems that Business Continuity Manager supports.
Page 34: Specified Time Suspend Functions
Copy Group Definition File Generation Function using CSV files - This uses batch jobs to define and update copy group information from a CSV file. PPRC Copy Pair Monitoring function - This enables status monitoring by defining a PPRC copy pair as a Business Continuity Manager copy group SMS Storage Group Import function - This migrates SMS storage group information for defining copy groups in Business Continuity Manager.
Page 35: Functionalities Dependent On The Storage System
Functionalities Dependent on the Storage System Availability of some functions depends on the model of the storage system. “List of Functionalities Dependent on the Storage System” (page 35) lists the functions whose availability depends on the storage system. NOTE: When using the Remote DKC Control Function, the functions that can be used on the secondary site will match the functions that can be used on the primary site.

For details about DIF UNIT in the Copy Group Attributes panel (for BC Z/Cnt Ac-S Z/Cnt Ac-A), see the HP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide. For details about the difference between the units that manage the differential data between P-VOL data and S-VOL data, see the Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe Systems User Guide.
Page 39: Preparing To Set Up Business Continuity Manager
Figure 8 Serial Numbers on an XP24000/XP20000 or P9500 Disk Array Each logical disk controller has a logical DKC number (0 or 1) assigned within the storage system. A procedure for identifying storage systems and storage system serial numbers that are different for each storage subsystem is required.
Page 40 NOTE: Some of these tasks must be performed for each site in the configuration. For detailed information, see “Configuration Definitions” (page 126). Each of the following tasks can be selected from an item on the Main Menu ISPF panel. Scan each site to acquire information about the volumes; transfer this information to the primary site.
Page 41: Business Continuity Manager With Replication Products
2 Business Continuity Manager with replication products This chapter describes the relationships among supported replication products and Business Continuity Manager. Storage System Settings and Copy Group Definitions Figure 9 (page 41) shows the relationships between storage system settings and Business Continuity Manager definitions.

Figure 10 Relationship between 4x4 configuration Storage System settings and Business Continuity Manager definitions To register an EXCTG when the copy operation is performed in the forward direction, specify EXCTG ID(Forward). To register an EXCTG when the copy operation is performed in the reverse direction, specify EXCTG ID(Reverse).
Page 43: The 3Dc Configurations
Figure 1 1 2DC Configuration Example A 2DC configuration offers the following advantages: If a disaster occurs at the primary site, the S-VOL of the Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe or Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy pair at the secondary site can be used to restart and continue operations, without waiting for primary site recovery.
Page 44: The 3Dc Cascade Configuration
The 3DC Cascade configuration A 3DC Cascade configuration performs Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe operations from the primary site to the nearby intermediate site, and from the intermediate site to the distant remote site. This enables the secondary host to use no-data-loss data on the intermediate site during maintenance or in the event of a relatively small-scale regional disaster.

Page 46: Operations During Primary Site Host Maintenance Or A Host Failure
Figure 15 Storage system maintenance at the remote site (3DC Multi-Target configuration) Operations during primary site host maintenance or a host failure As show in Figure 16 (page 47), during primary site host maintenance or a host failure, a 3DC Multi-Target configuration can be switched to a 3DC Cascade configuration to continue operations by using the Reverse Resync Function to reverse the direction of the Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy pair between the local and primary sites.
Page 47: The Delta Resync Configuration
Figure 16 Host maintenance at the primary site (3DC Multi-Target configuration) The Delta Resync configuration The delta resync configuration creates a Continuous Access Journal copy pair (delta resync pair) between the local site and remote site in a 3DC Multi-Target configuration. Delta resyncs can be executed to synchronize the delta resync pair by copying to the remote site only the differential data between the local and remote sites.
Page 48: 2Dc Configuration With Hyperswap And Continuous Access Journal
Figure 17 Example of a Delta Resync configuration (before a Delta Resync is performed) Figure 18 Example of a Delta Resync configuration (after a Delta Resync is performed) 2DC Configuration with HyperSwap and Continuous Access Journal A 2DC configuration with HyperSwap and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe can continue operating, even after a HyperSwap is performed.
Page 49 To define a 2DC configuration with HyperSwap and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe, create a PPRC copy pair for which HyperSwaps are enabled. Next, in Business Continuity Manager, define that copy pair as a Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe copy pair with the HyperSwap attribute.
Page 50: The 4X4 Configuration
Business Continuity Manager provides the following functions to detect a HyperSwap: The HyperSwap-completion message monitoring function that can monitor for the output of HyperSwap-completion messages. The Copy pair status monitoring function. Business Continuity Manager obtains the copy pair status after a HyperSwap as the SWAPPING status.
Page 51: The 4X4X4 Cascade Configuration
Figure 21 A 4x4 configuration example The 4x4x4 Cascade configuration The 4x4x4 Cascade configuration is a combination of a 4x4 configuration and a 3DC Cascade configuration. This configuration is suitable for large-scale operations because consistency can be preserved across multiple storage systems if the storage systems are within the same extended consistency group (EXCTG).
Page 52: Operations During A Host Failure At The Primary Site
Figure 22 A 4x4x4 Cascade configuration example Operations during a host failure at the primary site During a host failure at the primary site, the Reverse Resync Function is used to reverse the copying direction of the Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe copy group from the intermediate site to the primary site.

In the following situations, Business Continuity Manager issues an error message and the command terminates abnormally. One or more copy pairs in the copy group cannot transition to the status specified by the GOTO parameter, due to failure. All volumes in the copy group do not transition to the specified copy pair status within the time specified by the TIMEOUT parameter.
Page 75: Understanding Business Continuity Manager Functions
3 Understanding Business Continuity Manager functions This chapter describes Business Continuity Manager functions. Remote DKC Control Function A host with the Remote DKC Control Function can control storage systems that are not directly connected via a channel (for example, because they are on remote sites). The Remote DKC Control Function uses connection paths (FC-Links) between storage systems in order to control Business Copy for Mainframe, Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe, Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe, and Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe...
Page 76 Figure 40 (page 76), 0002 is specified as the APID for the route starting from CD4, which is different than the APID for the route starting from CD1, which is 0001. Host ID - The unique ID used by a storage system to distinguish hosts when a command device is shared among multiple hosts (multiple instances of operating systems).
Page 77: Functions That Support Disaster Recovery
Figure 41 APID concept Functions That Support Disaster Recovery This section describes the Business Continuity Manager functions that support disaster recovery (such as the Reverse Resync function and Continuous Access Synchronous consistency preservation function). The Reverse Resync Function The Reverse Resync function is used to reverse the direction of copy operations (reverse the roles of the P-VOL and S-VOL).
Page 78: The Continuous Access Synchronous Consistency Preservation Function
Reverse the copy direction again using the Reverse Resync function. To return the copy direction back to the original direction, execute the YKSUSPND and YKRESYNC command with the FORWARD parameter specified for both. Start all applications at the primary site. Figure 42 Flow of Failovers and Failbacks The Continuous Access Synchronous Consistency Preservation Function Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe provides storage system functionality that preserves...
Page 79: The Operational Testing Function
When the YKCONMSG command is executed, Business Continuity Manager monitors operating system messages for detecting a hardware failure. When a failure is detected, the following three commands are executed in the order shown, and copy processing for all copy pairs within the copy group is executed. YKFREEZE: Freezes the copy group in order to suspend update (I/O) operations from the host to all volumes within the copy group.
Page 80: Functions That Support Copy Group Definitions And Operations
When operational testing is performed, assuming the following: A disaster has affected the storage system on the primary site. The P-VOL and S-VOL are running as a Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe copy pair or Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy pair (because a copy pair is assumed to be made up of volumes in storage systems at remote sites).
Page 81: The Copy Group Configuration Check Function
The Copy Group Configuration Check Function To determine if the copy group definition and the actual copy pair configuration match, execute the YKQUERY command with the VERIFY parameter specified. This check function detects user definition mistakes by verifying that the following are true: The disk configuration information (storage system serial number, control unit number, or command control address) for the actual P-VOL and S-VOL matches the copy group definition.
Page 82: Sms Storage Group Import Function
The following can be performed: Creation of a copy group definition file Reads CSV files in which copy pair information is described, then generates a copy group definition file. Update of a copy group definition file You can generate CSV files in which the contents of an already-defined copy group definition file are coded.

system that is not connected to the local host. A dummy device number must be allocated to the disk configuration information acquired from the remote scan by using Business Continuity Manager. “Remote Scan in a 3DC Cascade Configuration” (page 91) shows an operational image of the remote scan function for a 3DC Cascade configuration.
Page 92: Volumes Used For Ng Scans
An NG scan can be performed on XP12000/XP10000, XP24000/XP20000, and P9500 storage systems. Volumes Used for NG Scans The NG scan uses either a command device or the volume from which disk configuration information was acquired by a local scan (the first volume in the disk configuration definition file) to acquire information from the volumes that the OS does not recognize.
Page 93 The following shows the possible scan combinations when defining a copy group by combining Gen'ed volumes and Non Gen'ed volumes, and also shows the relationship with an instance of Business Continuity Manager that operates copy groups. A remote storage system indicated here means a storage system that is located far from the Business Continuity Manager that is controlling copy groups.

Page 97: Inter-Disk Controller Logical Paths
When the Reverse Resync function is used, an inter-control unit logical path from the secondary site to the primary site (reverse direction) is also necessary. To establish a reverse direction inter-control unit logical path, the route list needs to be set and the command device needs to be registered.
Page 98: Function That Monitors Event And Errors
Function That Monitors Event and Errors The commands that monitor events and errors are the YKEWAIT and YKWATCH commands. They are both TSO/E commands that are called from a REXX script and monitor the transitions of copy pair statuses within specified copy groups. However, there are differences in their functionality as shown in Table 23 (page 98).

NOTE: If a Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy group that contains XP24000 or P9500 volumes, start the Usage monitor of the control unit to which the journal volume belongs in order to acquire correct information.
Page 102: Setting A Prefix For Configuration Files
Figure 62 Relationship between Non Gen'ed DAD ID and DAD ID in an NG Scan NOTE: When using Device Address Domain IDs: Use the same DAD ID for volumes that are directly accessible. Business Continuity Manager assumes that volumes are directly accessible if they have the same DAD ID as the DAD ID specified in the Set Defaults panel.
Page 103 Route list definition file Command device definition file Copy group definition file Figure 63 (page 103) shows the tasks required for creating configuration files on a 2DC configuration. Figure 63 Overview of creating configuration files (2DC configuration) Each configuration file serves a specific purpose and adheres to a precise naming convention as shown in Table 25 (page 104).
Page 104 Table 25 Configuration file details Disk configuration definition file Item Description Naming convention prefix.DSK.SNnnnn.dad-id where: nnnn = storage system serial number Purpose Business Continuity Manager creates this file when you scan a device. This file stores the device configuration information, and is required for all copy types and for each site.
Page 105: Required Settings For Configuration Files
Purpose Business Continuity Manager creates this file for the first Device Address Domain of the route when the route list definition has completed. Used to register a command device in the storage system and to use the Remote DKC control function and Cnt-Ac S consistency preservation function.
Page 106: Acquiring Volume Information (Preparations)
NOTE: For configurations where the same storage system is connected from hosts at different sites, the same volume might have different device numbers. Therefore, you cannot create a disk configuration definition file on a site to transfer to the other sites for use. For this reason, perform a local scan for P-VOLs and S-VOLs at each site, and then create a disk configuration definition file.

Page 112: Establishing A Logical Path
You can group one or more inter-control unit logical paths and/or inter-disk controller logical paths in a defined path set. Definable units of a path set can be selected as required for operations and scripts. To avoid performance problems, separate the paths between command devices from those used for copy groups.
Page 113: Establishing An Inter-Control Unit Logical Path
Define a path set by creating a path set definition file from the ISPF panels. The procedures for these are available in “Creating a path set” (page 439): For an inter-control unit logical path: See “Defining the inter-CU logical path set” (page 447) “Using the ISPF panels”...

NOTE: Consider the following situations that can result from executing the YKQRYPTH command before using this functionality: If the YKQRYPTH command is executed with the RESTRUCT parameter specified, path information for the direction that is not defined in the path set definition is also acquired. If the YKQRYPTH command is executed without the RESTRUCT parameter specified, path information for the direction that is not defined in the path set definition is not acquired.
Page 115: Establishing A Logical Path In The Reverse Direction
Establishing a logical path in the reverse direction The procedure for establishing a logical path in the reverse direction is the same as the procedure for establishing a logical path in the forward direction. However, the following must be completed before you can establish a logical path in the reverse direction: A forward direction logical path must already be established.

Execute the YKLOAD command with DAD (DAD ID) and ROUTE (route list ID) parameters. Execute the YKBLDCMD command with the SN (storage system serial number) parameter. Registering a command device in the reverse direction To use the Remote DKC Control Function to operate a storage system on the primary site from one or more other sites, you need to use Business Continuity Manager at one or more other sites to register a command device in the reverse direction on the storage system at the primary site.
Page 121: Deleting Command Devices Registered In A Route List
Figure 69 Example of Deleting Command Devices When deleting command devices from the primary site, first delete the secondary storage system (secondary DKC), and then delete the primary storage system (primary DKC). From the primary site, if you delete CD1 on the primary storage system before deleting CD2 on the secondary storage system, you will be unable to delete CD2.

Page 260: Batch Processing For Multiple Copy Pairs
Batch Processing for Multiple Copy Pairs Copy pair operations are performed by volume, or collectively for multiple copy pairs (batch processing), depending on the combinations of commands and parameters. When batch processing is performed, if there is at least one copy pair subject to processing in the processing unit, the copy pairs in the processing unit are subject to processing.
Page 261: Copy Pair Operations For Bc Z
specifying the DEVN or VOLUNIT parameter, Business Continuity Manager does not delete scheduled suspend information. For this reason, execute the YKSUSPND command specifying the CANCEL parameter before executing the YKRESYNC command specifying the DEVN or VOLUNIT parameter. Copy Pair Operations for BC Z If unsynchronized data exists in the P-VOL and S-VOL (copy wait status) when you execute the YKDELETE command in the DUPLEX status, the copy pair is dissolved before the data is reflected in the copy destination volume.

Execute the YKSUSPND command with the ATTIME parameter specified for the BC Z copy group (GRPSI1) (to schedule a time for the copy pairs to be suspended). Use the YKEWAIT command to verify that the copy group has changed to the suspend status (backup completion).
Page 272: Determining The Volume To Be Used For Restoration
Make sure that the Cnt Ac-J Z consistency time during a copy pair suspension was appropriate. Make sure that the Cnt Ac-J Z copy pairs during a copy pair suspension were in the DUPLEX status. After checking the above, re-acquire a backup as required. Determining the Volume to Be Used for Restoration If you performed a backup using the Cnt Ac-J Z ATTIME suspend function, you can choose the Cnt Ac-J Z S-VOL or one generation of the BC Z S-VOLs as the volume used for restoration.
Page 273: Monitoring Status And Changing Configurations In A 3Dc Cascade Configuration
The ATTIME suspension information is canceled when one of the following commands is executed for the BC Z copy group: The YKSUSPND command with the CANCEL parameter The YKDELETE command without the DEVN parameter The YKRESYNC command Note that this command cannot be executed after the ATTIME suspend information is set and before suspension (while ATTIME suspension is being reserved).
Page 274: When The Cnt Ac-S Consistency Preservation Function Is Not Used
Note the following points when you monitor the copy status: To immediately detect that Cnt Ac-S Z copy groups have changed to the SUSPER status, you must shorten the interval for monitoring the copy status. This operation is required to minimize the loss of data.
Page 275: When The Cnt Ac-S Consistency Preservation Function Is Used
When the Cnt Ac-S consistency preservation function is used If the SUSPER status is detected for a Cnt Ac-S copy group. Immediately execute the YKFREEZE, YKSUSPND SELECT(COND) and YKRUN commands for the Cnt Ac-S copy group, and then execute the YKSUSPND SELECT(COND) command for the Cnt Ac-J Z copy group.
Page 276 Add a copy pair to the copy group definitions for Cnt Ac-S Z and Cnt Ac-J Z: After the copy group definitions have changed, transfer the changed copy group definition file to another host. If you execute a rescan to add a copy pair, perform the same operation on the other host.
Page 277 From the primary host, make sure that the Cnt Ac-J Z copy group status is DUPLEX, and then execute the YKMAKE SELECT(COND) command for the copy pair that has been added to the Cnt Ac-J Z copy group definition. HP recommends that you execute the YKQUERY command before executing the YKMAKE command, because the YKMAKE command is executed only for the added copy pair.
Page 278: Using Compatible Flashcopy Linkage Configurations
Delete a copy pair from the Cnt Ac-S Z and Cnt Ac-J Z copy group definitions. After the copy group definitions have changed, transfer the changed copy group definition file to another host. Using Compatible FlashCopy linkage configurations This section describes operation in FlashCopy linkage configurations. Using the Compatible FlashCopy Linkage Function in a 2DC Configuration This section describes the operations that are performed in 2DC configurations for each of the following statuses of a copy pair linked with FlashCopy.

that can be linked with FlashCopy, see “Prerequisites for the Compatible FlashCopy linkage configuration” (page 55). Compatible FlashCopy linkage when the copy pair is in the DUPLEX status (Continuous Access Synchronous Z or Continuous Access Journal Z) Compatible FlashCopy linkage using the Preserve Mirror function when the copy pair is in the DUPLEX status (Continuous Access Synchronous Z) Compatible FlashCopy linkage after placing the copy pair in the suspend status (Continuous Access Synchronous Z, Continuous Access Journal Z, or Continuous Access Asynchronous)
Page 280: Compatible Flashcopy Linkage Using The Preserve Mirror Function When The Copy Pair Is In The Duplex Status (Continuous Access Synchronous Z)
Compatible FlashCopy linkage using the Preserve Mirror function when the copy pair is in the DUPLEX status (Continuous Access Synchronous Z) As described in “Compatible FlashCopy Linkage When the Copy Pair Is in the DUPLEX Status” (page 279), if a copy pair in the DUPLEX status is linked with Compatible FlashCopy, the copy pair changes to the PENDING status during Compatible FlashCopy execution.
Page 281 When the Preserve Mirror function is used and Compatible FlashCopy is interrupted The Preserve Mirror function does not synchronize Compatible FlashCopy operations at the primary site and the secondary site. Therefore, if Compatible FlashCopy operation is interrupted at the primary site or secondary site, data on the P-VOL and S-VOL of the Cnt Ac-S Z copy pair linked with the Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL might become inconsistent.
Page 282: Compatible Flashcopy Linkage When The Copy Pair Is In The Suspend Status
If there is a copy pair in the CONSLOST status, dissolve that copy pair. Re-create the copy pair that was dissolved. For an example of recovering a Cnt Ac-S Z copy pair from the CONSLOST status, see the sample script YKDEMO12 in the HP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide. Compatible FlashCopy Linkage When the Copy Pair Is in the Suspend Status The following describes the operation procedure for Compatible FlashCopy linkage when Cnt Ac-S Z, Cnt Ac-A, or Cnt Ac-J Z copy pairs are in the suspend status.

Monitor the completion of copying. To monitor the completion of Compatible FlashCopy, run a script that includes the YKFCSTAT command. Resynchronize the Cnt Ac-S Z or Cnt Ac-A copy pair. After confirming the completion of Compatible FlashCopy, resynchronize the Cnt Ac-S Z, Cnt Ac-A, or Cnt Ac-J Z copy pair.
Page 284 Execute Compatible FlashCopy. After Compatible FlashCopy is initiated, the status of the copy pairs in the DUPLEX status will change to Pending. The copy pairs will return to the DUPLEX status when Compatible FlashCopy ends. Monitor the completion status of the copying process. To monitor the completion status of Compatible FlashCopy, run a script that includes the YKFCSTAT command.
Page 285: Determining The Compatible Flashcopy Copy Status
Determining the Compatible FlashCopy Copy Status To resynchronize a Compatible FlashCopy linkage copy pair that is in the suspend status, monitor the completion of the Compatible FlashCopy operation. Use the YKFCSTAT command to acquire the status of the Continuous Access Synchronous Z P-VOL, Continuous Access Asynchronous P-VOL, or Continuous Access Journal Z P-VOL that is the copy destination for Compatible FlashCopy, and determine the copy status.

either EDIT or MONITOR for a startup mode. To select a startup mode, assign the value corresponding to the desired mode in the MODE initialization parameter. EDIT Starts the Business Continuity Manager agent in edit mode. When the Business Continuity Manager agent is active in edit mode, copy groups can be defined, manipulated, and monitored from Replication Manager.
Page 541: Operations After The Configuration File Is Locked
Operations after the configuration file is locked A Business Continuity Manager agent with the LOCK(PREFIX) parameter specified, the ISPF panel of Business Continuity Manager, and BCM Monitor all lock the configuration files during startup. This prevents other users from updating the same configuration files. BCM Monitor and the ISPF panel use the same method to lock the Business Continuity Manager agents.
Page 542: If The Ispf Panel Or Bcm Monitor Has Already Been Started
(ii) Business Continuity Manager agent 3 Because LOCK(CHECK) or LOCK(NONE) is specified, the agent does not attempt to lock the configuration file while it is starting. As a result, the configuration file with prefix BCM.A can be used to start this agent. (iii) Business Continuity Manager agent 4 Because this agent is in monitor mode, it does not attempt to lock the configuration file while it is starting.
Page 543 Figure 133 If the ISPF panel or BCM Monitor has already been started (i) Business Continuity Manager agent 1 Because LOCK(PREFIX) is specified, while the Business Continuity Manager agent is starting it attempts to lock the configuration file. However, because the configuration file with prefix BCM.B has already been locked, the attempt fails and this agent fails to start.
Page 544: Collecting Audit Logs
The BCM Monitor can also be used to share the same configuration file with other users. NOTE: If a configuration file is updated by another user, the Update Warning panel is displayed when Business Continuity Manager users try to update the configuration file from the ISPF panel, prompting them to choose whether to overwrite the file.
Page 545: Starting A Business Continuity Manager Agent
Starting a Business Continuity Manager agent To start a Business Continuity Manager agent, use the START command. Business Continuity Manager agents reside on the system, and run in accordance with the definition of the YKPRMxx initialization parameter. You can start multiple Business Continuity Manager agents.

Page 558: Defining A Log Stream
If an error occurs when connecting to a log stream for reasons such as the log stream not being defined, the YKZ217E message (name=IXGCONN) is output to the console upon the first execution of a CLI command after logging on to TSO/E. If this happens, the Business Continuity Manager log data will not output while CLI commands are still being processed.
Page 559: Which Parameters To Specify For A Log Stream Definition
//DEFINE1 EXEC PGM=IXCMIAPU //SYSPRINT SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DATA TYPE(LOGR) REPORT(YES) DEFINE LOGSTREAM NAME(log_stream_name) DASDONLY(YES) MAXBUFSIZE(64000) STG_SIZE(800) LS_SIZE(5000) HLQ(CCENTRAL) For details on the log stream name (log_stream_name) in JCL, see “Which Parameters to Specify for a Log Stream Definition” (page 559), and make the necessary changes according to the environment.
Page 560 Maximal block size of a log is 64,000 bytes. Since the maximum CTF is 60 KB (61,440 bytes), specify 64,000 bytes as the block size for extra capacity. STG_SIZE(stg_size) Specify 100 to 1,000 (400 KB to 4 MB) as the size of the staging dataset. Do not specify this parameter when using an SMS definition.
Page 561: Planning A Dasd Log Dataset
LOWOFFLOAD LIKE MODEL DIAG Planning a DASD Log Dataset The system logger service assigns a VSAM linear dataset for the DASD log dataset and DASD staging dataset. For details, see the MVS Setting Up a Sysplex. Deleting a Log Stream The following is an example of using JCL to delete a log stream when the log dataset is full.
Page 562: Not Using System Logger Service
To merge Business Continuity Manager log data that was generated by multiple operating systems in a SIMPLEX environment, you must output the log for each operating system to an external dataset, transfer the files to a computer, and then put the multiple files in chronological order. Not Using System Logger Service To obtain logs, use a DD statement to allocate two sequential log datasets to each job.
Page 563 If neither the YKLOG01 DD nor YKLOG02 DD statement are specified, the YKZ261E message is output, and processing continues without any logs being obtained. If this happens, to obtain log data, you need to log on to TSO/E again, and specify the DD statements for YKLOG01 and YKLOG02.
Page 564: Business Continuity Manager Log Data Formats
Business Continuity Manager Log Data Formats The log data format in Business Continuity Manager is defined as follows: The record size, severity level, record identifier, and capacity identity information are added in binary format to the beginning of each log record. Note that if the system logger service is being used, the time-stamp is added by the system logger service.
Page 565: Example Jcl
Use the local time when specifying the start date and time of the log data to output. If the STARTTIME operand is omitted, 1900/01/01,00:00:00 is used. If only the time is omitted, 00:00:00 is used. ENDTIME(yyyy/mm/dd[,hh:mm:ss]) Use the local time when specifying the stop date and time of the log data to output. If the ENDTIME operand is omitted, 2042/09/17,23:53:47 is used.
Page 566: Data Format
Data Format The format for the SYSIN dataset is as follows: Dataset format: Sequential dataset in the fixed-length record format Record length: 80 bytes Block size: Optional (multiple of 80) An input control statement is not required. Table 103 (page 566) shows the output formats of the Business Continuity Manager log data output tool.

IOSHM0414I message is output. The YKCONMSG command can be used to monitor for output of this message, to detect when a HyperSwap has been completed. Note that this message is output not only during a failure, but also for the planned execution of a HyperSwap. Recovering from a Failure This section explains how to recover from various kinds of failures.
Page 570: Performing Operations When A Failure Occurs For A Volume In A Copy Group
Re-define the log stream. You can now log back on to TSO/E again and execute CLI commands. You cannot delete the log stream while CLI commands are executing. As a result, be sure to temporarily stop a CLI command execution to delete the log stream. If you cannot stop a CLI command execution, execute the FORCE IXGLOGR,ARM command to stop the system logger service, execute the S IXGLOGRS command to restart the system logger service, and then delete the log stream.
