Disaster Recovery Procedure
The following procedure is an example of the steps that should be taken when a disaster or failure
occurs in the primary site in a multi-primary and multi-secondary storage systems configuration:
1.
Switch operations from the primary site to the secondary site.
2.
Reverse the copy direction, so that data are copied from the secondary site to the primary
site.
3.
After recovery of the primary host or storage system finishes, switch operations from the
secondary site to the primary site.
This disaster recovery procedure is the same as when only one primary storage system and only
one secondary storage system are used. For the detailed procedure, see
.
Disaster Recovery in a 3DC Cascading Configuration
If a disaster or failure occurs in the primary site in a 3DC cascading configuration, you can use
TrueCopy for Mainframe secondary volumes in the intermediate site to enable the intermediate
site to take over your business tasks. If a disaster or failure occurs in the primary site, first you must
transfer your business tasks from the primary site to the intermediate site.
To transfer your business tasks to the secondary site:
1.
Check the consistency of the TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous R-VOL in the secondary
site.
2.
Use Business Continuity Manager to execute the YKSUSPND REVERSE command onto the copy
groups that will make a TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous pair between the primary site
and the intermediate site.
