System z servers. Now Geographically Dispersed Open Clusters (GDOC) is designed to address this need for open systems. GDPS 3.5 will support GDOC for coordi- nated disaster recovery across System z and non-System z servers if Veritas Cluster Server is already installed. GDPS and the Basic HyperSwap (available with z/OS V1.9) solutions help to ensure system failures are invisible to employees, partners and customers with dynamic disk- swapping capabilities that ensure applications and data are available.

GDPS is a multi-site or single-site end-to-end application availability solution that provides the capability to manage remote copy conﬁ guration and storage subsystems (including IBM TotalStorage), to automate Parallel Sysplex operation tasks and perform failure recovery from a single point of control.

GDPS helps automate recovery procedures for planned and unplanned outages to provide near-continuous avail- ability and disaster recovery capability.

Fiber Quick Connect for FICON LX Environments

Fiber Quick Connect (FQC), an optional feature on z10 EC, is now being offered for all FICON LX (single mode ﬁ ber) channels, in addition to the current support for ESCON. FQC is designed to signiﬁ cantly reduce the amount of time required for on-site installation and setup of ﬁ ber optic cabling. FQC facilitates adds, moves, and changes of ESCON and FICON LX ﬁ ber optic cables in the data center, and may reduce ﬁ ber connection time by up to 80%.

FQC is for factory installation of IBM Facilities Cabling Services – Fiber Transport System (FTS) ﬁ ber harnesses for connection to channels in the I/O cage. FTS ﬁ ber har- nesses enable connection to FTS direct-attach ﬁ ber trunk cables from IBM Global Technology Services.

Note: FQC supports all of the ESCON channels and all of the FICON LX channels in all of the I/O cages of the server.
