A
Metro/Global
Mirror
environment
is
configured
using
a
minimum
of
three
storage
units,
one
each
at
the
local,
intermediate,
and
remote
sites.
Data
from
the
A
volumes
at
the
local
site
is
synchronously
replicated
to
B
volumes
at
the
intermediate
site
using
Metro
Mirror.
Data
from
the
B
volumes
at
the
intermediate
site
is
asynchronously
replicated
to
the
C
volumes
at
the
remote
site
using
Global
Copy.
FlashCopy
relationships
that
are
created
with
the
C
volumes
at
the
remote
site
become
the
FlashCopy
source
volumes
and
the
D
volumes
at
the
remote
site
become
the
FlashCopy
target
volumes.
Note:
For
ease
of
understanding,
we
describe
the
Metro/Global
Mirror
configuration
in
terms
of
the
local,
intermediate,
and
remote
sites.
You
can
manage
the
volumes
that
are
associated
with
the
storage
units
at
these
sites
from
one
central
location.
For
Metro/Global
Mirror,
one
storage
unit
at
the
intermediate
site
is
designated
as
the
master.
Optional
additional
storage
units
at
the
intermediate
site,
if
configured,
are
designated
as
subordinates.
The
master
sends
commands
to
its
subordinate
storage
units
over
fibre
channel
protocol
(FCP)
links
and
coordinates
the
consistency
group
formation
process
over
all
the
subordinate
storage
units.
The
FCP
links
also
enable
the
Global
Mirror
master
storage
unit
to
communicate
the
FlashCopy
commands
to
the
remote
site.
All
status
is
then
relayed
back
to
the
master
storage
unit.

view
of
the
three-site
Metro/Global
Mirror
configuration.
In
a
Metro/Global
Mirror
configuration,
if
you
lose
access
to
the
storage
unit
at
the
local
site,
the
Global
Copy
relationship
is
intact
and
Global
Mirror
is
still
operational.
Through
the
use
of
FlashCopy
operations
and
consistency
groups,
consistent
data
is
maintained
at
the
remote
site.
However,
you
are
left
without
the
local
site
until
all
recovery
operations
have
been
performed
to
recover
the
local
site.
