disaster recovery, data duplication, and data migration.

Feature codes for point-in-time copy
When you order point-in-time copy functions, you specify the feature code that
represents the physical capacity you want to authorize for the function.
You can combine feature codes to order the exact capacity that you need. For
example, if you determine that you need 23 TB of point-in-time capacity, you can
order two 7203 features and three 7200 features.
Note: If you have a 9A2 storage unit, you can later activate and manage the
function authorization on a per-image basis. For example, if you ordered 23
TB, you could activate 10 TB on one image and 13 TB on the other image.
You will activate your licenses on the IBM Disk Storage Feature Activation
(DSFA) Web site after you receive the serial number for your ordered
function authorization.
Table 2 provides the feature codes for the point-in-time copy function.
