Feature codes for remote mirror and copy

When you order remote mirror and copy functions, you specify the feature code that
represents the physical capacity to authorize for the function.
Remote mirror and copy features must be purchased for both the primary and
secondary DS6000 systems.
Remote mirroring solutions require the installation of at least one fibre channel or
FICON host port on each DS6000 system in the remote mirroring configuration to
serve as the communications link between the primary and secondary machines.
For higher availability, use more than one host port per DS6800 be used for the
remote mirroring connectivity.
The fibre channel ports used for remote mirror and copy can be configured as
either a dedicated remote mirror link or as a shared port between remote mirroring
and FCP data traffic.
Remote mirror and copy solutions are supported with the use of SAN fabric
products. To see a current list of supported environments, configurations, networks,
and products, see the DS6000 series Interoperability Matrix at:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds6000/interop.html
Table 3 provides the feature codes for the remote mirror and copy functions.

Feature codes for parallel access volume

When you order the parallel access volume (PAV) function, you specify the feature
code that represents the physical capacity allowed for the function.
PAV requires the purchase of the FICON attachment feature number 5915.
A license is required for the total physical capacity in the storage unit that is
configured as count key data.
The following table provides the feature codes for the parallel access volume
function.
