SYMCLI is built on functions that use system calls to generate low-level I/O SCSI
commands. Configuration and status information is maintained in a host database file,
reducing the number of inquiries from the host to the arrays.
Use SYMCLI to:
l
Configure array software (For example, TimeFinder, SRDF, Open Replicator)
l
Monitor device configuration and status
l
Perform control operations on devices and data objects
Solutions Enabler is also available as a Representational State Transfer (REST) API.
This robust API allows you to access performance and configuration information, and
to provision storage arrays. It can be used in any of the programming environments
that support standard REST clients, such as web browsers and programming
platforms that can issue HTTP requests.
Mainframe Enablers
The EMC Mainframe Enablers are a suite of software components that allow you to
monitor and manage arrays running HYPERMAX OS. The following components are
distributed and installed as a single package:
l
ResourcePak Base for z/OS
Enables communication between mainframe-based applications (provided by EMC
or independent software vendors) and arrays.
l
SRDF Host Component for z/OS
Monitors and controls SRDF processes through commands executed from a host.
SRDF maintains a real-time copy of data at the logical volume level in multiple
arrays located in physically separate sites.
l
EMC Consistency Groups for z/OS
Ensures the consistency of data remotely copied by SRDF feature in the event of
a rolling disaster.
l
AutoSwap for z/OS
Handles automatic workload swaps between arrays when an unplanned outage or
problem is detected.
l
TimeFinder SnapVX
With Mainframe Enablers V8.0 and higher, SnapVX creates point-in-time copies
directly in the Storage Resource Pool (SRP) of the source device, eliminating the
concepts of target devices and source/target pairing. SnapVX point-in-time
copies are accessible to the host via a link mechanism that presents the copy on
another device. TimeFinder SnapVX and HYPERMAX OS support backward
compatibility to traditional TimeFinder products, including TimeFinder/Clone,
TimeFinder VP Snap, and TimeFinder/Mirror.
l
Data Protector for z Systems (zDP
™
)
With Mainframe Enablers V8.0 and higher, zDP is deployed on top of SnapVX. zDP
provides a granular level of application recovery from unintended changes to data.
zDP achieves this by providing automated, consistent point-in-time copies of data
from which an application-level recovery can be conducted.
l
TimeFinder/Clone Mainframe Snap Facility
Produces point-in-time copies of full volumes or of individual datasets.
TimeFinder/Clone operations involve full volumes or datasets where the amount of
data at the source is the same as the amount of data at the target. TimeFinder VP
Snap leverages clone technology to create space-efficient snaps for thin devices.
