Copy Services functions that are performed using either the DS Storage Manager or DS CLI interact
with both the DS8000 (Machine type 2107) DS6000 (Machine type 1750) and the IBM® System Storage™ 2105
Enterprise Storage Servers (ESS) Models 800 and ESS 750.
Most Copy Services functions that are available on the ESS 2105 are also
available on the 2107 and
1750 and in open systems and zSeries® environments.
Before you begin, consider the following guidelines:
- To perform Copy Services functions between machine types 2105,
1750 and 2107,
you must configure a Copy Services domain on the DS Storage Manager or DS CLI.
- To connect to the 2105 Copy Services domain on the ESS, all interfaces
that you use require an authenticated login procedure to access Copy Services
functions across the storage complex. The authentication is performed by using
a user name and password that was created with the ESS Specialist. Therefore,
the existing user name and password that was created with the ESS Specialist
for the 2105 Copy Services domain for which you will be working must match
the user name and password on the management console that is connected to
the 2107or 1750. Otherwise, you must add them using either the DS Storage Manager or DS CLI as
part of the procedure for adding a 2105 Copy Services domain to the storage
complex.
- To manage Copy Services across the 2105 and 1750,
you must install licensed internal code version 2.4.2 or later on the 2105.
- The 2105 nor the 1750 supports remote mirror and
copy (formerly PPRC) operations with an ESCON® link. However, if you want to configure
a remote mirror and copy relationship between the 1750 and
2105, you must use a FCP link.
