Abstract

See full text

A remote copy system incorporates dynamically modifiable ports on the storage controllers such that those ports can operate either as a control unit link-level facility or as a channel link-level facility. When configured as a channel link-level facility, a primary storage controller can appear as a host processor to a secondary storage controller. Using dynamic switches coupled between primary and secondary sites, fewer ESCON communication links are required since the ESCON communication links can function either as a channel or as storage controller communication link.
