Chapter 1 Data Replication Overview 1.2 Examples of Applying Data 1.2 Examples of Applying Data 1.2 Examples of Applying Data Replication Replication Replication When you introduce Data Replication and use replication volumes which can be separated, you can get the following benefits. • The system down time during data backup is largely reduced. Lowered access performance to the business database during data backup in system operation can be prevented. • A test environment using t

Chapter 1 Data Replication Overview The procedure for backup from a replication volume is described below. (1) During operation, the master volume (MV) and replication volume (RV) are connected. (2) Suspend the production task and separate the replication volume (RV). Resume the task after separation is complete. (3) Use the separated replication volume (RV) to perform backup and the task in parallel. After backup is complete, reconnect the replication volume (RV) (Reconnection takes on

Chapter 1 Data Replication Overview • Storage Manager Provides the disk array configuration and state display functions. Installing DynamicDataReplication and/or RemoteDataReplication allows the replication management function (hereinafter, referred to as the Replication Management) incorporated in iSM. The Replication Management provides setting and operating functions such as state display, pair setting, and replication operation for DynamicDataReplication or RemoteDataReplication.

When Restore is executed, the RV contents at the point of starting Restore are reflected copied into the MV. At this time, you can determine whether to reflect the updated data of the MV into the RV by choosing either of the following: • Restore with RV being updated: Restore(update)
