The following figures show the various TC390/ShadowImage configurations that share volumes. TC390
supports synchronous and asynchronous operations for shared volumes. The following figure shows an
example of a volume that is functioning as both a TC390 M-VOL and a ShadowImage S-VOL. With this
configuration, you can:
• Use TC390 to provide remote backup copies of SI390 S-VOLs.
• Use SI390 to provide on-site backup copies of TC390 M-VOLs.
Figure 20 TrueCopy and ShadowImage: shared M-VOL/S-VOL
The following figure shows an example of a volume that is functioning as both a TC390 R-VOL and an
SI390 S-VOL. With this configuration, you can use SI390 to provide additional remote copies of TC390
M-VOLs. This configuration is not allowed when At-Time Split is used on SI390.
Figure 21 TrueCopy and ShadowImage: shared R-VOL/S-VOL
The following figure shows an example of a volume that is functioning as both a TC390 M-VOL and an
SI390 S-VOL, while the R-VOL of the same TC390 pair is also functioning as the S-VOL of another SI390
pair. With this configuration, you can:
• Use TC390 to provide remote backup of SI390 S-VOLs.
