P/DAS support, restrictions

Continuous Access Synchronous Z supports the IBM P/DAS host software function. P/DAS allows

you to relocate or migrate data by redirecting all application I/Os from the M-VOL to the R-VOL

without interrupting access to the data. See the following IBM publications for important information

on the requirements and procedures for P/DAS operations: Planning for IBM Remote Copy

(SG24-2595), Advanced Copy Services (SC35-0355), DFSMS MVS V1 Remote Copy Guide and

Reference (SC35-0169).

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to P/DAS use with Continuous Access Synchronous Z:

• P/DAS through channel extenders is not supported.

• P/DAS does not support CFW operations. You must stop CFW applications before performing

P/DAS operations on Continuous Access Synchronous Z volumes.

• P/DAS swap option #2 (switch pair & swap) is supported for P/DAS between the P9500 and

XP12000 Disk Array/XP10000 Disk Array storage systems.

Contact your HP account team for the latest information on P/DAS support.

GDPS support

Continuous Access Synchronous Z provides remote copy support for IBM’s Geographically Dispersed

Parallel Sysplex® (GDPS) facility. GDPS is an IBM service for mirroring data and balancing
