Review the types of DS6000™ series Copy Services and identify those functions that you will use.
There are several types of Copy Services functions. Most users decide to use a combination of two or more types to form a comprehensive enterprise solution for disaster recovery, data duplication, and data migration.

The IBM® TotalStorage® Productivity Center for Replication focuses on automating the administration and the configuration of these services: operational control, copy services tasks, and monitoring and managing the copy sessions.
TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication software also provides replication for continuous management of two-site business operations. This provides disaster recovery management during planned and unplanned failover and failback automation, and monitoring of progress of the copy services so that you can verify the amount of replication that has completed and the amount of time remaining to complete the replication operation.
TotalStorage Productivity Center Replication is an optional capability of the DS6000 series. It is available through the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication software program.
