Mainframe operations

This section provides high-level descriptions of mainframe compatibility,
support, and configurations.

Mainframe compatibility and functionality

In addition to full System Managed Storage (SMS) compatibility, the storage
system provides the following functions and support in a Mainframe
environment:
• Sequential data striping
• Cache fast write (CFW) and DASD fast write (DFW)
• Enhanced dynamic cache management
• Extended count key data (ECKD) commands
• Multiple Allegiance
• Concurrent Copy (CC)
• Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC)
• FlashCopy
• Parallel Access Volume (PAV)
• Hyper Parallel Access Volume (HPAV)
• Priority I/O queuing
• Red Hat Linux for IBM
• SUSE Linux for IBM
• zHyperWrite
G1000, G1500, F1500 Hitachi TrueCopy
• zHPF Extended Distance II (VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500
microcode 80-05-0x or later)
• FICON
• FICON
microcode 80-05-0x or later)

Mainframe operating system support

The VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500 storage systems support most
major IBM mainframe operating systems. For more information about
supported operating systems, see the mainframe support matrix on
support.hds.com/en_us/interoperability.html.

Mainframe configuration

After a storage system installation is complete, users can configure the
storage system for Mainframe operations.
