You can perform TrueCopy for Mainframe operations using one of the following user interfaces:
- Business Continuity Manager (BCM) is an ISPF or command-line interface that allows you to perform TrueCopy for Mainframe pair operations and monitor pair status. BCM is mainframe host software and supports functions that are not supported by other management options.
- The IBM® Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) product enables you to perform most TrueCopy for Mainframe operations from the mainframe host. The VSP One Block storage system supports the IBM® PPRC host software functions.
- The Command Control Interface (CCI) command-line interface software allows you to perform TrueCopy for Mainframe operations by issuing commands to the storage system either from a client or server through the host Fibre Channel interface (in-band method) or from a LAN-attached computer (out-of-band method). CCI provides a scripting capability that enables you to automate replication operations.
For details about the user roles required as prerequisites when using CCI, see the Command Control Interface User and Reference Guide.
