Hardware Configuration
This section explains the hardware configuration for a 3DC cascading configuration using TrueCopy
for Mainframe Synchronous and Universal Replicator for Mainframe. In a 3DC cascading
configuration, three storage systems are required. It is recommended that Business Continuity
Manager is installed on the hosts in the primary site, the intermediate site, and the secondary site.
Remote Web Console computers are required for these sites. The following list describes the
hardware configuration for these sites.
•
Primary site
The XP storage system must have TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous installed.
◦
◦
The XP storage system must have a TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous M-VOL.
◦
Storage system settings must be made so that Business Continuity Manager can be used.
For detailed information about settings required for using volumes in a remote site, see
the HP Business Continuity Manager Software User's Guide.
•
Intermediate site
The XP storage system must have TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous installed.
◦
◦
The XP storage system must have Universal Replicator for Mainframe installed.
◦
The XP storage system must have a volume used as both a TrueCopy for Mainframe
Synchronous R-VOL and a Universal Replicator for Mainframe primary data volume.
◦
The XP storage system must have a Universal Replicator for Mainframe master journal
volume.
◦
Storage system settings must be made so that Business Continuity Manager can be used.
For detailed information about settings required for using volumes in a remote site, see
the HP XP for Business Continuity Manager Software User's Guide.
•
Remote site
The XP storage system must have Universal Replicator for Mainframe installed.
◦
◦
The XP storage system must have a Universal Replicator for Mainframe secondary data
volume.
◦
The XP storage system must have a Universal Replicator for Mainframe restore journal
volume.
◦
Storage system settings must be made so that Business Continuity Manager can be used.
For detailed information about settings required for using volumes in a remote site, see
the HP Business Continuity Manager Software User's Guide.
Setup Procedure
This section explains the procedure for setting up a 3DC cascading configuration using TrueCopy
for Mainframe Synchronous and Universal Replicator for Mainframe.
To set up a 3DC cascading configuration:
1.
Install TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous and Universal Replicator for Mainframe. Configure
ports and journal groups.
2.
Issue a request for creating a TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous pair to the primary storage
system MCU where TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous is installed.
3.
Wait until the status of the TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous pair becomes Duplex.
