3 Preparing for Universal Replicator
z/OS Operations
This chapter describes URz operations involving the XP disk array primary and secondary storage
systems, the remote copy connections between the primary / secondary storage systems, and the host(s)
at the primary and secondary sites, as well as the licensed URz remote console software.
System Requirements
URz operations involve the XP disk array primary storage systems and secondary storage systems
containing the primary and secondary data volumes, the remote copy connections between the primary
storage systems and secondary storage systems, the host(s) at the primary and secondary sites, and the
licensed URz remote console software. The URz system requirements are:
URz can coexist with UR in the same XP storage system.
The remote copy connection with the NAS interface is not supported.
• Remote copy connections − fibre channel (see “ Setting up Remote Copy Connections ” on page 65):
• Multimode or single-mode optical fibre cables are required at both the primary storage system
and secondary storage system.
• For distance up to 0.5 km, multimode optical shortwave fiber cables are required between the
primary storage system and secondary storage system.
• For distances from 0.5 km to 1.5 km (1,640 to 4,920 feet), multimode shortwave fibre-channel
interface cables with up to two switches are required.
• For distance up to 10 km, single optical long wave fiber cables are required between the primary
storage system and secondary storage system.
• For distances from 10 km to 30 km (6.2 to 18.6 miles), single-mode long wave fibre-channel
interface cables with up to two switches are required.
• For distances greater than 30 km (18.6 miles), approved third-party channel extender products
and telecommunications lines are required. Long-distance URz solutions are provided based on
user requirements and workload characteristics.
• Supported mainframe host operating systems (OS):
XP disk array supports the following mainframe host operating systems (OS).
• MVS, OS/390, z/OS, VOS3, MSP-EX
• Optional error report communications (ERC) function requires MVS/DFP 3.2.0 or later.
• If
the primary and/or secondary systems consist of several CPU complexes, a SYSPLEX timer is
required to provide a common time reference for the host I/O time-stamping function.
Please contact your HP account team for the latest information on platform support for URz.
• A computer that runs XP Remote Web Console (XP Remote Web Console computer):
The XP Remote Web Console remote console software is required for XP URz operations. The
URz remote console software is a component of the XP Remote Web Console software. The
URz license key(s) are required to enable the URz option(s) on the XP storage system (see
“ Enabling the URz Option(s) ” on page 66). Separate license keys are required for each XP storage
system. For further information on XP Remote Web Console operations, please refer to the XP Remote
Web Console User’s Guide, or contact your HP account team.
