TimeFinder SnapVX emulates the following legacy replication products:
FBA devices Mainframe (CKD devices)
TimeFinder/Clone TimeFinder/Clone
TimeFinder/Mirror TimeFinder/Mirror
TimeFinder VP Snap TimeFinder Snap
EMC Dataset Snap
IBM FlashCopy (Full Volume and Extent
Level)
Interoperability between TimeFinder SnapVX and legacy TimeFinder and IBM
FlashCopy products depends on:
l
The device role in the local replication session.
A CKD or FBA device can be the source or the target in a local replication session.
Different rules apply to ensure data integrity when concurrent local replication
sessions run on the same device.
l
The management software (Solutions Enabler/Unisphere for VMAX or Mainframe
Enablers) used to control local replication.
n
Solutions Enabler and Unisphere for VMAX do not support interoperability
between SnapVX and other local replication session on FBA or CKD devices.
Figure 13 on page 94 provides detailed local replication interoperability
support for FBA devices by using open systems management software
(Solutions Enabler, Unisphere for VMAX).
n
Mainframe Enablers (MFE) support interoperability between SnapVX and other
local replication sessions.
Figure 14 on page 95 provides detailed interoperability information for CKD
devices managed by using Mainframe Enablers.
