Chapter 3. Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy 73
Applications for Asynchronous PPRC include:
Maintaining a recoverable copy of critical volumes in an online or database environment at
global distances
Automation of consistency
A continuous, consistent copy solution
Asynchronous PPRC requires a minimum feature of PPRC Version 2.
PPRC paths
Before any PPRC pair relationship can be established between volumes, a PPRC path (or
group of paths) must be established. The path(s) are uni-directional and go from the LSS
containing the primary volume to the LSS containing the secondary, typically in another ESS
in a remote site. These paths are explained and the setup discussed in 3.10, “PPRC links” on
page 125.
These logical paths are created using physical p ...
