Transparent cloud tiering provides cloud object storage (public, private, or
on-premises) as a secure, reliable, transparent storage tier that is natively integrated
with the storage system. Transparent cloud tiering on the storage system is fully
integrated with DFSMShsm, which reduces CPU utilization on the host when you
are migrating and recalling data in cloud storage. You can use the IBM Z host to
manage transparent cloud tiering and attach metadata to cloud objects.
The storage system supports the OpenStack Swift and Amazon S3 APIs. The
storage system also supports the IBM TS7700 as an object storage target and the
following cloud service providers:
v Amazon S3
v IBM Bluemix - Cloud Object Storage
v OpenStack Swift Based Private Cloud
z/OS Distributed Data Backup
z/OS Distributed Data Backup (zDDB) is a licensed feature on the base frame that
allows hosts, which are attached through a FICON interface, to access data on
fixed block (FB) volumes through a device address on FICON interfaces.
If zDDB is installed and enabled and a volume group type specifies either FICON
interfaces, this volume group has implicit access to all FB logical volumes that are
configured in addition to all CKD volumes specified in the volume group. Then,
with appropriate software, a z/OS host can complete backup and restore functions
for FB logical volumes that are configured on a storage system image for open
systems hosts.
Copy Services license
Copy Services features help you implement storage solutions to keep your business
running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by providing data duplication, data
migration, and disaster recovery functions. The Copy Services license is based on
usable capacity of the volumes involved in Copy Services functionality.
The Copy Services license is available for the following license scopes: FB and ALL
(both FB and CKD).
The Copy Services license includes the following features:
v Global Mirror
v
Metro Mirror
v Metro/Global Mirror
v Point-in-Time Copy/FlashCopy
v Safeguarded Copy
v z/OS Global Mirror
v z/OS Metro/Global Mirror Incremental Resync (RMZ)
The Copy Services license feature codes are ordered in increments up to a specific
capacity. For example, if you require 160 TB of capacity, order 10 of feature code
8251 (10 TB each up to 100 TB capacity), and 4 of feature code 8252 (15 TB each,
for an extra 60 TB).
The Copy Services license includes the following feature codes.
