HP XP7 Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe Systems User Guide (TK911-96003)

To enable data migration from existing storage to the EAV (3390-A), you can combine a non-EAV
(3390-X) as the P-VOL and an EAV (3390-A) as the S-VOL. However, a reversed combination in
which EAV (3390-A) is the P-VOL and non-EAV (3390-X) is the S-VOL is not supported.
NOTE: You can use data migration from an earlier storage model P-VOL to an EAV S-VOL. When
you do this, note that the following two field values for the S-VOL in the Remote Web Console
Detailed Information dialog box:
• The emulation type is shown as ......
• If the S-VOL’s number of cylinders is greater than 65,535, it is still indicated as 65,535
RAID Manager support for Continuous Access Synchronous Z operations
You can run pair operations and path operations using RAID Manager for Continuous Access
Synchronous Z pairs and Continuous Access Synchronous pairs on a UNIX or PC server connected
to the P9500s.
A LUN on the P9500 target port must be defined and a command device created for RAID Manager
prior to using the interface. You can define the LUN to a logical volume for an open server that is
connected to a UNIX or PC server. For more information about command device settings, see the
HP XP7 RAID Manager User Guide.
