Hitachi TrueCopy z/OS for HP XP12000/XP10000 and SVS 200 storage systems

NOTE:

When TC390 and XP Continuous Access coexist in the same XP12000/XP10000, each

consistency group must contain either TC390A pairs or XP Continuous Access Asynchronous pairs

(not both), and TC390A and XP Continuous Access Asynchronous share the same cache sidefile

area.

Combining TC390 and HXRC. The following table shows the requirements and restrictions for combining

TC390 and HXRC operations on the same XP12000/XP10000 device.

Combining TrueCopy and ShadowImage

ShadowImage volumes can be assigned to TC390 pairs, and TC390 volumes can be assigned to

ShadowImage pairs. For further information on ShadowImage for system 390, see the Hitachi

ShadowImage for z/OS user guide.

NOTE:

When TC390 and ShadowImage are both active on the same XP12000/XP10000 subsystem,

TC390 cannot be used to copy within that subsystem. ShadowImage is recommended for

subsystem-internal copy. If ShadowImage is not active, TC390 Synchronous supports intra-subsystem copy

and requires at least one external ESCON cable loop or fibre cable loop.

TC390 and SI390 can be used together in the same disk array and on the same volumes to provide

multiple copies of data at the main and/or remote sites. The following table describes the host pair status

reporting for TC390 volumes, SI390 volumes, and TC390/SI390 shared volumes.

Table 18

on page 63

shows the currency of the data on a shared TC390/SI390 volume based on TC390 and SI390 pair status.

For shared TC390/SI390 volumes, the TC390 pair status is reported to the host if you query the R-VOL.

To obtain the SI390 pair status, query the target volume (T-VOL) of the pair.

SI390 supports multiple target volumes (T-VOLs) for each source volume (S-VOL). If you issue a pair

status query to an SI390 S-VOL (for example, CQUERY), the status for only one SI390 pair is reported

(the pair with the T-VOL with the lowest LDEV ID). To obtain the pair status for the SI390 pair(s) with the

other T-VOL(s), you must direct the host query to the specific T-VOL using the T-VOL’s LDEV ID in the host

command (for example, CQUERY DEVN parameter). SI390 through XP Command View Advanced

Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console displays the LDEV ID and SI390 pair status of all T-VOLs

associated with an S-VOL.
