We are in the process of moving z/OS, z/VM and linux guests to new IBM dasd (DS8300). We are using PPRC XD - asynch to DR site. We had an issue with having to manually run FSCK against linux filesystems that we hoped could be helped by establishing global mirror. I am trying to get information on using global mirror with z/VM systems and have a couple of pretty basic questions. (1) Is 'XRC' and 'Global Mirror' the same thing? (2) I see questions posted in the past regarding 'GDPS/XRC' and z/VM not supporting timestamps. Is 'GDPS/XRC' a special XRC for GDPS? (3) Is there a version of XRC/Global Mirror that supports z/VM and linux guests?
PPRC-XD working fine for z/VM and linux guests. z/VM and z/OS dasd are in same DS8300 so would need same global mirror. Flashcopies on z/VM (using a z/VM starter system) worked fine but now TPC-R is being tested (windows PC with GUI). If anyone could help me find doc on setting up global mirror so it can work for z/VM as well as z/OS it would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else using TPC-R to perform dasd functions for z/VM?
