NOTE: When XP Continuous Access Async, TrueCopy for z/OS Async, and XP Continuous

Access Journal coexist in the same array, XP Continuous Access Async pairs, TrueCopy for z/OS

Async pairs, and XP Continuous Access Journal pairs cannot be mixed in one consistency group.

If XP Continuous Access Async pair has been allocated to Consistency Group No. 00, TrueCopy

for z/OS Async pairs and XP Continuous Access Journal pairs cannot be allocated to Consistency

Group No. 00. XP Continuous Access and TrueCopy for z/OS share the same cache sidefile area.

Combining XP Continuous Access and XP Business Copy

You can assign XP Business Copy (BC) volumes to XP Continuous Access pairs, and assign XP

Continuous Access volumes to BC pairs.

Use XP Continuous Access and BC in the same disk array and on the same volumes to provide

multiple copies of data at primary and remote sites. “Host pair status reporting for XP Continuous

Access/XP Business Copy shared volumes” (page 43) describes host pair status reporting for XP

Continuous Access volumes, BC volumes, and XP Continuous Access/BC shared volumes. “Data

currency of a shared XP Continuous Access/XP Business Copy volume” (page 43) shows currency

of data on a shared XP Continuous Access/BC volume based on XP Continuous Access and BC

pair status.
