Remote volume operations
A command device defined in Business Continuity Manager allows you to remotely create copy
pairs, remotely operate volumes, and remotely monitor the status of volumes. This allows you to
reduce the operational costs of remote locations.
Figure 2 (page 24) explains remote volume operation.

Grouping to simplify volume operations
Business Continuity Manager can group together copy pairs to improve the operability of managing
replicas of large-scale systems that handle substantial amounts of data. Copy pairs can be grouped
together and managed as a single entity.
Working with copy pairs in groups simplifies volume operation and reduces system administration
costs.
Figure 3 (page 25) shows an overview of volume operation.
