z-synergy Services license rules

A z-synergy Services license is required for only the total physical capacity that is

logically configured as count key data (CKD) ranks for use with IBM Z host

systems.

Note: If z/OS Distributed Data Backup is being used on a system with no CKD

ranks, a 10 TB z-synergy Services license must be ordered to enable the FICON

attachment functionality.

High Performance FICON for z Systems

High Performance FICON for z Systems (zHPF) is an enhancement to the IBM

FICON architecture to offload I/O management processing from the z Systems

channel subsystem to the DS8880 Host Adapter and controller.
