HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide

1 ISPF panels
This chapter explains how to move between ISPF panels and perform operations on them, and the
nature and function of displayed items.
Unless otherwise specified, the term storage system in this guide refers to the following disk arrays:
• HP XP P9500 Disk Array
• HP XP24000 Disk Array
• HP XP20000 Disk Array
The GUI illustrations in this guide were created using a Windows computer with the Internet Explorer
browser. Actual windows may differ depending on the operating system and browser used. GUI
contents also vary with licensed program products, storage system models, and firmware versions.
Business Continuity Manager can control the following replication products:
• BC or BC Z — Business Copy Z/Hitachi ShadowImage for Mainframe (SI)
• CA or Cnt Ac-S Z — Continuous Access Synchronous Z/Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe (TC)
• CAJ or Cnt Ac-J Z — Continuous Access Journal Z/Hitachi Universal Replicator for Mainframe
(UR)
• TCA or CAA — Hitachi TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe (TCA)
NOTE: Hitachi TrueCopy Asynchronous (TCA) is supported on the HP XP Disk Array. TCA is not
supported on the XP P9500 Disk Array. Business Continuity Manager can be used with both XP
P9500 and XP disk arrays. The XP disk array copy products can be configured and controlled
using the XP P9000 version of BCM. With the exception of TrueCopy Asynchronous, the HP product
names are used in this manual. For compatibility with existing implementations on XP disk arrays,
the Hitachi abbreviations shown in parenthesis are accepted by the user interface. The graphics
in this manual show the Hitachi abbreviations but your system may show the HP abbreviations.
Overview of ISPF panels
The Business Continuity Manager Software panel interface consists of ISPF panels. You can use
ISPF panels to operate Business Continuity Manager and manipulate copy groups. This section
describes the Business Continuity Manager panel system and panel transitions, and gives an
overview of ISPF panels. Note that the following explanations assume the default values for the PF
key numbers.
ISPF panel system
The structure of the operation panels starting from the Main Menus is shown in Figure 1 (page 10)
and Figure 2 (page 10). As the panel system illustration suggests, there are multiple levels of panels.
Tertiary panels are accessed through secondary panels.
