IBM z/OS Global Mirror emulation
The IBM z/OS Global Mirror emulation (formerly eXtended Remote Copy or XRC) application is a
direct-attached storage device (DASD) application that implements asynchronous disk mirroring, as
supported by the disk hardware architecture and a host software component called System Data
Mover (SDM). Within this application, a specific application channel program invokes a well-
constrained type of channel program called a Read Record Set (RRS) channel program. This channel
program is used to read only updates to disk volumes (record sets) after they have been brought into
synchronization with the aim of writing only record updates to a mirrored volume. The RRS channel
program accesses primary volumes from a remote host for the purpose of reading these record sets
(updates) supported by IBM z/OS Global Mirror emulation. The emulation feature thus allows the
