Feature codes for point-in-time copy

When you order point-in-time copy functions, you specify the feature code that represents the physical capacity you want to authorize for the function.

The point-in-time copy license feature codes enable the use of the point-in-time copy licensed function.

The feature codes are authorized based on physical capacity.
  • If you plan to use this licensed function with fibre-channel attached servers, the total authorization level must be greater than or equal to the total physical capacity of the storage unit that will be logically configured as fixed block.
  • If you plan to use this licensed function with FICON attached servers, the total authorization level must be greater than or equal to the total physical capacity of the storage unit that will be logically configured as CKD.
  • If you plan to use this licensed function with both fibre-channel and FICON attached servers, the total authorization level must be greater than or equal to the total physical capacity of the storage unit.
Note: If you are activating features for any of the licensed functions, such as Copy Services, all the features must have the same capacity, including the operating environment license feature.

You can combine feature codes to order the exact capacity that you need. For example, if you determine that you need 23 TB of point-in-time capacity, you can order two 5202 (Model 1750-511) or 5212 (Model 1750-522) features and three 5200 (Model 1750-511) or 5210 (Model 1750-522) features.

Table 1 provides the feature codes for the point-in-time copy function.
