Datasheet

VolumeCopy feature is designed to
provide full replication of one logical vol-
ume (source) to another (target) within
the DS4800. VolumeCopy is designed
to allow read-only access to the source
volume during the copy process, and
suspend writes to support point-in-time
integrity.
Enhanced Remote Mirror consists of
Global Mirror with Asynchronous
Write-order Consistency, which is criti-
cal for mirroring multi-LUN applications,
Global Copy with Asynchronous and
Metro Mirror with Synchronous.
Additional tools to help manage storage
The DS4800 is supported by a variety
of IBM Tivoli® software products,
including IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
and IBM Tivoli Storage Resource
Manager, as well as many other third-
party hardware and software products.
These applications can add to the
capabilities of the DS4800 by enabling
backup and storage reporting.
The IBM System Storage Proven™ pro-
gram is designed to identify and test
many of these products for interoper-
ability with the DS4800 and other
IBM disk products. Products in this
program have been tested to help
reduce or eliminate time-consuming
installation and support issues. For

Service and support
The DS4800 has a three year, 9x5, next
business day hardware warranty.
Additional services for hardware instal-
lation, DS4000 Storage Manager
configuration and advanced storage
management are also available from
IBM Global Services (IGS). IBM Support
Line services can assist with using
DS4000 Storage Manager, helping to
enable customers to self-maintain their
DS4000 system.
The optional DS4000 Service Alert
and the new DS4000 Alert Manager
services are designed to enable
the DS4800 to quickly notify the
IBM Support Center when the system
detects a problem, helping to reduce or
eliminate the need for the customer to
place a service call. This feature is
capable of forwarding error alert mes-
sages (via e-mail) from DS4000 Storage
Manager to IBM to help expedite diag-
nosis and repair of failed hardware and
software problems.
