11. Solution Configuration
This chapter describes the optimum solutions provided by the ETERNUS DX linking with software programs.
Business Continuity
Remote Copy Operations for the Storage System (Copies between ETERNUS DX Storage
Systems)
■
Solution Overview
The ETERNUS DX can perform real time data transfers from the operation site to a remote site. Even if an error
occurs in the operation site, operations can continue by switching operation from the operation site to the
backup site. Data transfers to a remote site occur only between storage systems, not through servers, which
reduces the load on the server.
Support for multiple transfer methods also enables flexible backup systems to be configured according to the
operation environment.

Configuration Procedure
Configure the system to perform Remote Advanced Copying (REC) by using ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager
(ACM).
Operations are performed from the business server as an ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager agent and from
the operation management server as an ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager manager.
Register the business server (ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager agent) and the business volumes that are to
be backed up in the operation management server (ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager manager).
REC related settings and connection path settings must be performed in the ETERNUS DX.
● Required Environment
ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager agent and a gateway device (that connects the storage systems) must
be installed in each operation site and backup site. ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager manager must be
installed in either of the sites (one ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager manager can manage the ETERNUS
SF AdvancedCopy Manager agents of both sites).
