Description
Flashcopy-based (vs. store-and-forward) async mirroring
Periodic/automatic resynchronization from primary to
secondary (continuous, periodic, or manual)
Stable/consistent image always preserved on secondary
volume (via PiTs)
Mirroring over Fibre Channel and iSCSI
Benefits
Simplify Storage and Data Management
o FlashCopy recovery point on disk reduces further protection
required for secondary copy (i.e., tape)
Improve Data Protection and Data Integrity
o Rollback to secondary FlashCopy to recover from interrupted or
incomplete resynchronization
Improve Performance
o Primary volume IO performance not impacted by link speed or
latency (no write-order consistency impact)
Enhanced Global Mirroring
Improved Protection against Local and Wide-Area Disasters
