Chapter 7. Copy Services

In this chapter, we describe the architecture and functions of Copy Services for the DS8000 series. Copy Services is a collection of functions that provide disaster recovery, data migration, and data duplication functions. Copy Services run on the DS8000 storage unit and they support open systems and zSeries environments.

Copy Services has four interfaces: a Web-based interface (DS Storage Manager), a command-line interface (DS CLI), an application programming interface (DS API), and host I/O commands from zSeries servers.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

Introduction to Copy Services

Copy Services functions
