[. . . ] Refer to Table 3 for DS6000 series model support and LMC prerequisites. The DS6000 series system can participate in remote mirror and copy solutions with the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) Model 750, ESS Model 800, and DS8000 series systems. IBM System Storage Metro Mirror Metro Mirror is designed to provide real time mirroring between two systems that can be located up to 300 km from each other. It is a synchronous copy solution where write operations are completed on both copies (local and remote site) before they are considered to be done. Extending distances beyond 300 km is also possible however, due to network configuration variability, the customer must work with the channel extender vendor to determine the appropriate configuration to meet their performance requirements. IBM support approval for these longer distances can be requested by submitting a Request for Price Quotation (RPQ). The RPQ should include information on distance between sites, the channel extension technology, the type of telecom line, the amount of network bandwidth, the DS6800 system capacity, and a general description of the workload. IBM System Storage Global Copy Global Copy is a non-synchronous long-distance copy option for data migration and backup. With a non-synchronous operation, the distance between the primary and secondary DS6000 series system will have only a minimal effect on the application response time. Therefore, Global Copy can operate at very long distances. IBM System Storage Global Mirror Global Mirror is a high performance, asynchronous remote-mirroring copy solution. It is designed to provide a two-site disaster recovery and backup solution at virtually unlimited distances. Since the distance between the primary and secondary DS6000 series system has little impact to host applications at the primary site, the remote site can be located at distances from the local site well beyond those supported with Metro Mirror. The distances are typically limited only by the capabilities of the network and channel extension technologies. January 31, 2008 DS6000 Interoperability Matrix Page 7 Remote Mirror and Copy Channel Extension, DWDM, and Network Connectivity Distances beyond 300 km will require the use of channel extension technology, and the channel extender vendor will determine the maximum distance supported. The vendor should be contacted for its distance capability, line quality requirements, and WAN attachment capabilities. IBM supports the use of the following products, in Table 3, with remote mirror and copy. Additionally, the product vendors should also be consulted regarding hardware and software prerequisites when using their products in a DS6000 series remote mirror and copy configuration. IBM is not responsible for third-party products. When using remote mirror and copy with channel extenders, IBM supports the use of remote mirror and copy over all the network technologies that are currently supported by the channel extender products, including Fibre Channel, Ethernet/IP, ATM-OC3, and T1/T3. Evaluation, qualification, approval, and support of remote mirror and copy configurations using channel extender products are the sole responsibility of the channel extender vendor. The vendor should be contacted for its distance capability, line quality requirements, as well as SAN and WAN attachment capabilities.
