Hitachi TrueCopy for IBM z/OS
Hitachi TrueCopy for z/OS Remote Replication software provides a continuous,
nondisruptive, host-independent remote data replication solution for disaster
recovery or data migration over any distance. TrueCopy for z/OS supports
both SMS- and non-SMS-managed data, is completely application-
independent, and is designed to run unattended.
For distances within the same metropolitan area, TrueCopy Synchronous
software provides a no-data-loss, rapid-restart solution. And for enterprise
environments, TrueCopy Synchronous software, combined with Universal
Replicator and the Universal Storage Platform V, allows for advanced three-
data-center configurations for optimal data protection.
TrueCopy Asynchronous software can also be deployed for wide-area disaster
protection across virtually any distance. TrueCopy Asynchronous software uses
a unique method of sequence numbers and timestamps in each data record to
ensure proper sequencing and data integrity during transmission and recovery.
This document describes and provides instructions for performing TrueCopy for
z/OS operations on the Universal Storage Platform V using the TrueCopy for
z/OS software on Storage Navigator. The licensed TrueCopy for z/OS software
displays the TrueCopy for z/OS information and allows you to perform
TrueCopy for z/OS operations. For further information on Storage Navigator,
please refer to the Storage Navigator User’s Guide (MK-96RD621).
Hitachi TrueCopy for z/OS operations can also be performed from the
mainframe host using IBM PPRC commands.
