Business Continuity Manager functions
Business Continuity Manager also provides the following functions.
Disaster recovery functions
•
Reverse Resync function
This applies the S-VOL contents to the P-VOL and changes the copy direction. This function
can be used to decrease the amount of time required for restoring operations after a planned
outage in 2DC configurations. In 3DC configurations, this function can be used to decrease
the amount of time required for failover or failback.
•
Continuous Access Synchronous Z Consistency Preservation function
This preserves Continuous Access Synchronous Z copy group consistency, even during planned
stoppage due to maintenance, or failure.
•
Delta Resync function
If the host on the primary site has stopped, this function quickly changes the configuration to
a Delta Resync configuration in which the local site becomes the base for continuing operation.
Operational testing function
This allows a suspended S-VOL to be updated, reducing the load required for reverting the
suspended S-VOL to its original status after testing is completed.
