IP Replication

– Application-integrated capabilities for clients needing instant recovery with cost-optimized disaster recovery options

Storwize V7000IP Replication explained

Application server– Windows or Linux

servers● Often times VMWare

guests

– Having file systems

– Running mail applications like MS Exchange or Lotus Domino

– Running database applications like MS SQL Server, DB2, or Oracle

– Add TSM FastBack agents to each application host

– Add a TSM FastBack server machine (Windows, likely a new VMWare guest)

Implementing Storwize V7000 IP Replication– Consistent volume snapshots

can be made of● file systems● supported apps● any application through a

customization interface – Snapshot are incremental

and can be stored on thin provisioned volumes

– Local snapshots have the added benefit of being deduplicated.

– Although FastBack snapshots are software-based and do not use Storwize V7000 FlashCopy, plan for needed space as you would for FlashCopy

Implementing Storwize V7000 IP Replication– Because Fastback

snapshots are SW-based…

– FastBack agents can be used to snapshot data not stored on the Storwize V7000…

Implementing Storwize V7000 IP Replication– Local snapshots are

replicated (copied) by the local FastBack server to the remote FastBack DR Hub over IP.

– Replicated snapshots remain incremental and can also be stored on thin provisioned volumes.

– In the event of a failure, there are two recovery options.

● For individual file recovery, FastBack Mount allows a snapshot to be directly mounted read-only by a host server to copy individual files back to the Primary volume.

Implementing Storwize V7000 IP Replication– In enterprise

environments, snapshots can also be replicated to a central TSM server.

– With a TSM server target, the network traffic and replicated snapshot versions have the added benefit of being deduplicated.
