direct fibre channel attach - p 2 p 10km,

##Dynamic SRDF devices :srdf/dm data mobility :economical data migration solution.
2 parts
1. Adaptive Copy Disk Mode:2. Adaptive copy write pending mode :skew limit cannot be set below 100 tracks per symmetrics logical volume.
minimum skew limit is set when micrcode is installed.
same as srdf although the srdf/dm cannot set the skew value less than 100 for sr
df-dm.
skew limit represent how long the source can ahead of target.
##SRDF Mode of operations :adaptive copy replication tranfser data without waiting for acknowledgement.
##SRDF/S Functional Capabilities :Max. no. of SRDF pairs with engenuity 5874 or higher. 64,000
the srdf adaptive copy is not recommended for disaster restart puposes unless us
ed with timefinder/cg.
Disk mode - movement data is handled track level.
pending mode - data accumulates in local cache.
operational saving through reduced bandwidth :Delta sets vs. Ordered writes.
two delta sets is maintained at each location.
.75gb additional cache per 1 TB.
Only Host writes are paced and host I/O is not paced.
##SRDF/A Functional Capabilities :Max. no. of SRDF Pairs - 64,000
##Additional Replication with engenuity 5875
with 5875 the concurrnet srdf and srdf/a got started.
explicit trip -features that leaves the r2 in consistent state.

Lesson 5 - SRDF Managment Software :srdf/ar -uses adaptive copy and timefinder for automated operations.
single hop low data loss.
srdf/ar multiphop uses
srdf/s srdf/ar & timefinder
campus/metro no data loss.
multiple hop
asynchronous replication

use solution enabler for main frame environment.

SRDF/AR Single Hop:SRDF/Star :cascaded SRDF:R1 --> R21 -- R2

DLDEV disk less devices.

##with Engenuity 5874 and beyond R1/R2 :- failover process do not terminate the
relationship b/w r1 and r2.
R22 devices :- with r22 new rdf relationship can be created without deleting th
e original srdf.
it also reduces the number of operation performed in srdf.
R22 devices :- simplifies failover.
##SRDF/S -R1/R2 Swap and Application/Database relocation :srdf mirror mask operations are also swapped.
migration of devices.
SRDF migrate option :- it helps to migrate the r1 and r2 devices & reconfigures
the r1 and r2 relationship.
with engenuity 5875 zero space reclaim functionality :Federated Live migration.
symmetrics migration solution.
##SRDF/CE :Cluster intregarion.
for microsoft.
VMware and Hyper-v
vmware site recovery manager.
deployed in hyper-v parent.
64 cluster pair per symmetrics .
SRDF/CE V4.0 Supports with Windows 2008.
##Ionix Control Centre :integration with symmetrics management console.
symmetrics vmax array support.
SRDF device support.
ionix control cenre reporting.
control centre allows/support
creation of rdf devices.
r21,r22 and diskless srdf devices.
##SRDF Management Software :SMC - device and replication management

gui, manage most srdf operations.

Mainframe Symmetrics Control Facility :ISPF Panel menus.
Operator command for single command.
Batch JCL for automation with mult
##SRDF Failover :change status of source volume to write disable.
suspend link.
change status of target volume read/write.
##SRDF Update :updates the r1 invalid tracks to prespecified level.
##SRDF Failback :r1 rw,r2 disbled, link resumed.
##SRDF Establish :resumes the link and R1 - RW

R2 - overrites , link = resumeds.

##SRDF Restore :resume srdf operations retaining data on target and overrites any changes data o
n source.
