DFSMShsm fast replication provides DFSMShsm management for the use of volume-level fast replication. Fast replication is made possible by using the FlashCopy® capability of storage servers. With this capability, a set of storage groups can be defined as a copy pool. The volumes in this pool are processed collectively creating, by fast replication, backup versions that are managed by DFSMShsm. Recovery can be performed at the volume or copy pool level. This capability is designed to work specifically with DB2® Version 8 or later. With DFSMShsm fast replication, the backup and recovery of DB2 copy pools can be managed by DFSMShsm. DFSMShsm fast replication provides a quick, easy-to-use backup and recovery solution. This IBM® Redbooks® publication consists of a technical overview of the DFSMShsm fast replication function in z/OS® V1R12 Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS). It provides you with the information that you need to understand and evaluate the function, with practical implementation hints and tips. This book is written for storage professionals, database administrators, and system programmers who have experience with the components of DFSMS. It provides sufficient information for you to implement the DFSMShsm fast replication function in your storage environment.

The rapid growth of big data and the storage of all that data is creating a critical problem for many organizations with IBM® z SystemsTM environments. This situation occurs because the data that is stored is using all of the addressable device storage that is available. This IBM RedpaperTM publication describes how extended addressable volume (EAV) for IBM 3390 Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) devices can solve the lack of addressable device storage space problem. The paper also describes the design points of EAV, the value of implementing EAV, and the use of EAV.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication gives a broad understanding of storage clouds and the initial functions that were introduced for mainframe data to be transferred to cloud storage . IBM Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) and the IBM DS8000® added functions to provide elements of serverless data movement, and for IBM z/OS® to communicate with a storage cloud. The function is known as Transparent Cloud Tiering (TCT) and is composed of the following key elements: A gateway in the DS8000, which allows the movement of data to and from Object Storage by using a network connection. DFSMShsm enhancements to support Migrate and Recall functions to and from the Object Storage. Other commands were enhanced to monitor and report on the new functions. DFSMShsm uses the Web Enablement toolkit for z/OS to create and access the metadata for specific clouds, containers, and objects. DFSMSdss enhancements to provide some basic backup and restore functions to and from the cloud. The IBM TS7700 can also be set up to act as though it is cloud storage from the DS8000 perspective. This IBM Redbooks publication is divided into the following parts: Part 1 provides you with an introduction to clouds. It provides basic knowledge and terminology. Part 2 shows you how we set up the TCT in a controlled laboratory and how the new functions work. We provide points to consider to help you set up your storage cloud, including network connectivity, and integrate it into your operational environment. Part 3 shows you how we used the new functions to communicate with the cloud and to send data to it and retrieve data from it.. This edition applies to DS8900F Release 9.3 and covers more recent features of TCT such as multi-cloud connections, along with extra advice for high availability cloud connectivity and DFSMShsm improvements.
