This is the first window of the Edit Local Replica Options wizard.

The following image shows this window.



Setting fields (VSP 5000 series)

The following table lists the items in the Edit Local Replica Options window of the Edit Local Replica Options wizard.

Item

Description

System Type

The storage system type.

Values:

  • OpenSelect when you want to change system options that affect SI and HTI performance.
  • MainframeSelect when you want to change system options that affect SIz, FCv2, and FCSE performance.

Default: Open

SI/TI System Options table

The following table lists the items in this table on the Edit Local Replica Options window.

Item

Description

System Option

Displays the system options. The number next to each item is the system option number.

Values:

Swap & Freeze (1)
Quick Restores and then saves the current data. Used with the Quick Restore, inhibits the Update Copy operation after performing Quick Restore, and the paired S-VOL in "PAIR" status is not updated.
Host I/O Performance (2)
Use this option to give weight to I/O response rather than the copy time. This option controls copy operations and improves the host I/O response.
HOST I/O priority mode (9 to 13)
Use this option for the host I/O that causes copy processing for SI pairs to make the copy processing for SI pairs fail so that the host I/O is prioritized. This function is performed if the write pending rate does not decrease and the host I/O does not finish within the time period specified by the option. After the copy processing fails, all data is copied as the resynchronization. See Information to know before setting wait time.
Nondisruptive Migration Data Consistency (16)
Use this option to keep the latest data in the migration source storage system instead of distributing data in both the destination and source storage systems during data migration.
Display Progress Rate (17)
For Thin Image pairs with the cascade attribute disabled, the pair synchronization rate displayed on HDvM - SN (Synchronization Rate (%) in the View Pair Synchronization Rate window) or CCI is switched to the progress rate. However, even if this option is enabled, the synchronization rate is displayed only when the pair status is COPY, RCPY, or SMPL(PD). If this option is enabled, the following information is displayed depending on the pair status:
  • If the pair status is COPY, RCPY, or SMPL(PD), displays the progress rate for each process.
  • If the pair status is PAIR, PSUS, or PSUE, displays the pair synchronization rate that the current S-VOL data matches that of the next generation of the S-VOL. If the S-VOL is the latest one, the synchronization rate is computed by comparing the S-VOL with the P-VOL.
Copy Pace Ext. Slower1 (20), Copy Pace Ext. Slower2 (21), Copy Pace Ext. None (22)
Reducing the copy volume in "PAIR" status curbs the influence to the I/O performance of the host server. This item is available to all pairs in "PAIR" status. The order of Copy Pace Ext. Slower1, Copy Pace Ext. Slower2, and Copy Pace Ext. None determines the host server’s I/O performance.
Quick/Steady Split Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (24)
Accelerates ShadowImage pair split. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Reverse Copy Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (25)
Accelerates resynchronization (secondary to primary) of ShadowImage pairs. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Normal Resync Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (26)
Accelerates resynchronization (primary to secondary) of ShadowImage pairs. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Disable the alert notification of shared memory space warning (30)
Inhibits the alert notification of SIM reference code 603000.
Increase Background Copy Performance (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (31)
Increases (from 64 to 126) the maximum multiplicity of asynchronous copy processing run in the background when a ShadowImage pair is in the PAIR status.

SIMF/FCv2/FCSE System Options table (VSP 5000 series)

The following table lists the items in this table on the Edit Local Replica Options window.

Item

Description

System Option

Displays the system options. The number next to each item is the system option number.

Values:

Swap & Freeze (1)
Quick Restores and then saves the current data. Used with the Quick Restore, inhibits the Update Copy operation after performing Quick Restore, and the paired S-VOL (T-VOL for FCv2 or FCSE) is not updated.
Host I/O Performance (2)
Use this option to give weight to I/O response rather than the copy time. This option controls copy operations and improves the host I/O response.
FC Slower Copy1 (FCv2 or FCSE only) (3)
Reduces the multiplicity of background copy into half.
FC Slower Copy 2 (FCv2 or FCSE only) (4)
Reduces the multiplicity of background copy into quarter.
HOST I/O priority mode (9 to 13)
Use this option for the host I/O that causes copy processing for SIz pairs to make the copy processing for SIz pairs fail so that the host I/O is prioritized. This function is performed if the write pending rate does not decrease and the host I/O does not finish within the time period specified by the option. After the copy processing fails, all data is copied as the resynchronization. See Information to know before setting wait time.
Nondisruptive Migration Data Consistency (16)
Use this option to keep the latest data in the migration source storage system instead of distributing data in both the destination and source storage systems during data migration.
FC Ext. Slower Copy1 (17)
Inhibits background copy and improves host I/O response when the operating ratio of the MP unit (FCv2 or FCSE S-VOL or T-VOL is allocated) exceeds 65%.
FC Ext. Slower Copy2 (18)
Inhibits background copy and improves host I/O response when the operating ratio of the MP unit (FCv2 or FCSE S-VOL or T-VOL is allocated) exceeds 50%.
Copy Pace Ext. Slower1 (20), Copy Pace Ext. Slower2 (21), Copy Pace Ext. None (22)
Reducing the copy volume in the "DUPLEX" status curbs the influence to the I/O performance of the host server. This item is available to all pairs in "DUPLEX" status. The I/O performance of the host server is improved in order of Copy Pace Ext. Slower1, Copy Pace Ext. Slower2, and Copy Pace Ext. None.
Quick/Steady Split Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (24)
Accelerates ShadowImage for Mainframe pair split. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Reverse Copy Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (25)
Accelerates resynchronization (secondary to primary) of ShadowImage for Mainframe pairs. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Normal Resync Multiplexing (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (26)
Accelerates resynchronization (primary to secondary) of ShadowImage for mainframe pairs. The multiplicity (the number of jobs for which copy processing can be executed concurrently) of copy processing for each pair is changed from 1 to 24.
Increase Background Copy Performance (ShadowImage/ShadowImage for Mainframe) (31)
Increases (from 64 to 126) the maximum multiplicity of asynchronous copy processing run in the background when a ShadowImage for Mainframe pair is in the DUPLEX status.
