Figure 45 Relationship Between SMS Storage Groups and Replication Products
The Specified Time Suspend Function
You can use an ATTIME suspend function to suspend a copy pair at a time you specify. There are
two types of ATTIME suspend functions:
NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function
CAJ ATTIME Suspend function
NOTE:
For Business Continuity Manager versions earlier than 5.1, copy pair suspension that is
executed with the ATTIME parameter specified corresponds to the NORMAL ATTIME Suspend
function.
NORMAL ATTIME Suspend Function
Because Business Copy for Mainframe and Continues Access Asynchronous for Mainframe do not
support consistency preservation across multiple storage systems, you cannot set backup time
between the storage systems to the same time. However, if you execute the ATTIME suspension
function for a Business Copy for Mainframe or Continues Access Asynchronous for Mainframe
copy group that is configured across multiple storage systems, you can perform a synchronized
backup across the storage systems.
NOTE:
The NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function cannot be used for a remote storage system.
