IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Resiliency Family Functions
The following Copy Service Functions are supported with the iSeries: IBM TotalStorage FlashCopy, Metro Mirror, Global
Mirror, Metro/Global Copy. Use of these copy services on the iSeries requires creating a copy of the iSeries load source
unit (LSU) on the DS8000. Refer to IBM eServer iSeries in Storage Area Networks: Implementing Fibre Channel Disk
and Tape with iSeries, SG24-6220, for additional copy services support details.
#2766 PCI Fibre Channel Disk Controller and #2787 PCI-X Fibre Channel Disk Controller attachment:
Fibre attachment to the iSeries server is either directly to IBM TotalStorage DS8000 (point-to-point) or through a
supported SAN switch. Appropriate fibre cables must be provided to connect the iSeries to the DS8000 or to a SAN.
IBM TotalStorage DS8000 attaches with LC connectors. The #2766 and #2787 adapters have an LC connector.
Each #2766 or #2787 supports 32 LUNs. Each LUN can be 8.58 GB, 17.54 GB, 35.16 GB, 36.00 GB, or 70.56 GB.
