to perform URz operations. Users without Administrator or URz write access can only view URz

information

If you want to use Universal Replicator for z/OS, you must install not only a license for Universal

Replicator for z/OS but also a license for Continuous Access for z/OS.

primary storage system: XP storage system with URz installed.

secondary storage system: XP storage system with URz installed.

Requirements and Restrictions for URz

URz has the following requirements and restrictions:

System requirements (see the next section)

Disk track format

One-to-one volume copy operations

Duplicate VOLSER

Volume type

Journal group

Accessing URz primary data volumes and secondary data volumes

Cache and NVS

Duplicate volume

Disk Track Format

URz supports the following requirements on the disk track format, which must be ensured by the user. URz

cannot detect exceptions to these requirements. The primary storage system will abort the URz initial

copy operation if the track format for both the primary data volume and secondary data volume does

not meet the following requirements.

The TCz primary data volume and secondary data volume must have the same track format.

Record zero (R0) must be standard format, with key length of zero and data length of eight. The

primary storage system will abort the initial copy operation if R0 is not standard format.

The CCHH (logical cylinder address and logical head address) of R0 must be identical to the

physical cylinder address and physical head address of the track.

The CCHH of each user record in a track must be unique.

One-to-One Volume Copy Operations

URz requires a one-to-one relationship between the volumes of the volume pairs. A volume (LDEV)

can only be assigned to one URz pair at a time. However, when creating a URz pair for delta

resync operation, you can specify the secondary data volume of a URz pair that is not for delta

resync operation as the secondary data volume of the URz pair for delta resync operation. In that

case, you need to create a mirror the delta-resync pair and the non-delta-resync pair. For detailed

information about delta resync operation, see

URz Delta Resync Operation

” on page 40 and

TCz Synchronous (3DC Multi-target Configuration)

” on page 93).
