z/OS Distributed Data Backup
z/OS Distributed Data Backup (zDDB) is a licensed feature on the base frame that allows hosts, which are
attached through a FICON interface, to access data on xed block (FB) volumes through a device address
on FICON interfaces.
If zDDB is installed and enabled and a volume group type species either FICON interfaces, this volume
group has implicit access to all FB logical volumes that are congured in addition to all CKD volumes
specied in the volume group. Then, with appropriate software, a z/OS host can complete backup and
restore functions for FB logical volumes that are congured on a storage system image for open systems
hosts.
zHyperLink
zHyperLink is a short distance link technology that is designed for up to 10 times lower latency than zHPF.
zHyperLink can speed up transaction processing and improve active log throughput.
zHyperLink is intended to complement FICON technology to accelerate I/O requests that are typically
used for transaction processing.
IBM Fibre Channel Endpoint Security
Use IBM Fibre Channel Endpoint Security to establish authenticated communication and encryption of
data in flight for Fibre Channel connections between an IBM z15 host and the storage system. The
connections are secured by Fibre Channel security protocols and key server authentication that uses
communication certicates. If both the host and storage system use a connection with Fibre Channel
ports that support encryption, the connection will transmit encrypted data between the ports.
Copy Services license
Copy Services features help you implement storage solutions to keep your business running 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week by providing data duplication, data migration, and disaster recovery functions. The
Copy Services license is based on usable capacity of the volumes involved in Copy Services functionality.
The Copy Services license is available for the following license scopes: FB and ALL (both FB and CKD).
The Copy Services license includes the following features:
• Global Mirror
• Metro Mirror
• Metro/Global Mirror
• Point-in-Time Copy/FlashCopy
• Safeguarded Copy
• z/OS Global Mirror
• z/OS Metro/Global Mirror Incremental Resync (RMZ)
The Copy Services license feature codes are ordered in increments up to a specic capacity. For example,
if you require 160 TB of capacity, order 10 of feature code 8251 (10 TB each up to 100 TB capacity), and
4 of feature code 8252 (15 TB each, for an extra 60 TB).
The Copy Services license includes the following feature codes.
