HP StorageWorks P9000 Mainframe Host Attachment and Operations Guide: P9500 Disk Array (AV400-96332, January 2011)

Table 2 Remote Web Console-based software for mainframe users
DescriptionName
Enables the user to perform remote copy operations
between storage systems in different locations. Provides
synchronous and asynchronous copy modes for mainframe
data.
HP StorageWorks P9000 Continuous Access Synchronous
for Mainframe
Allows the user to create internal copies of volumes for
purposes such as application testing and offline backup.
Can be used in conjunction with Continuous Access
Synchronous for Mainframe to maintain multiple copies of
data at primary and secondary sites.
HP StorageWorks P9000 Business Copy for Mainframe
Provides compatibility with the IBM FlashCopy mainframe
host software function, which performs server-based data
replication for mainframe data.
FlashCopy Mirroring
Provides a RAID storage-based hardware solution for
disaster recovery which enables fast and accurate system
recovery, particularly for large amounts of data which span
multiple volumes. Using Continuous Access Journal for
Mainframe, you can configure and manage highly reliable
data replication systems using journal volumes to reduce
chances of suspension of copy operations.
HP StorageWorks P9000 Continuous Access Journal for
Mainframe
Provides compatibility with the IBM Extended Remote Copy
(XRC) mainframe host software function, which performs
server-based asynchronous remote copy operations for
mainframe LVIs.
Compatible XRC
Realizes the virtualization of the storage system. Users can
connect other storage systems to the disk array and access
the data on the external storage system over virtual devices
on the disk array. Functions such as Continuous Access
Synchronous for Mainframe and Cache Residency can be
performed on the external data.
External Storage
• Cache logical partition allows you to divide the cache
into multiple virtual cache memories to reduce I/O
contention.
Cache Partitioning
Enables users to convert single volumes (LVIs or LUs) into
multiple smaller volumes to improve data access
performance.
Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL)
Allows users to lock and unlock data into cache in real
time to optimize access to your most frequently accessed
data.
Cache Residency
Enables the mainframe host to issue multiple I/O requests
in parallel to single LDEVs. Provides compatibility with the
IBM Workload Manager (WLM) host software function and
supports both static and dynamic PAV functionality.
Also available is Compatible Hyper PAV that supports the
most current PAV using the I/O Supervisor in z/OS.
Compatible PAV and Compatible Hyper PAV
Allows users to restrict host access to data Mainframe users
can restrict host access to LVIs based on node IDs and
logical partition (LPAR) numbers.
Volume Security
Allows users to protect data from I/O operations performed
by hosts. Users can assign an access attribute to each
logical volume to restrict read and/or write operations,
preventing unauthorized access to data.
