Two things to consider: 1. Distance => delay. For long distances it means synchronous copy is not applicable. It can be asynchronous copy or some kind of "fuzzy" copy like PPRC-XD or SRDF Adaptive Copy. 2. Bandwidth and I/O rate. The more I/O the higher bandwidth is needed for replication. Te

Async mirroring would be possible. The bad / good thing is your source dasd track could be updated several times between passes. What the controller does is look at the updated track table, 1 bit per track, copies the tracks in order, resetting the bits when read and acknowledged, then proceeds t

Global Mirror Distances

2021-05-21 Thread Cameron Conacher
Hello folks, I am trying to find out what we could consider to be a "safe" maximum distance for mirroring DASD from one site to another. We have a situation where site #1 will be thousands (9,000) of miles away from site #2 (across the ocean. I realize there would be a great deal of latency involv
