Enhancements
Thin Provisioning (ThP)
Improved random write performance via an enhanced page allocation algorithm
Displays, with improved accuracy, the progress of ThP:
Pool Shrinking
Pool Rebalance
Zero Page Reclamation (ZPR)
ThP Pool Shrink & Rebalance progress is displayed per whole V-VOL and pool
Example A Pool hosting 100 V-VOLs displays 40% when processing is completed for 40
Zero Page Reclamation progress - is displayed per V-VOL page
Example A V-VOL with 1000 allocated pages displays 60% when the processing is completed for 600 pages

Sync Multi-DKC 3DC Open/MF CTG

April 2012 V03+1 Mainframe Firmware Enhancement
Adds support for Continuous Access Sync to existing support
for Continuous Access Journal with RAID Manager on XP
P9500
Data consistency for OPEN/Mainframe VOLs in a Multi-DKC
3 Data Center multi-target configuration
By issuing a suspend command with group specified for the consistency group from CCI,
data consistency across DKCs registered between TC and TC Mainframe secondary
volumes in the consistency group is ensured and all pairs are suspended
If a failure suspension occurs in a TC or TC for Mainframe pair registered in the
consistency group, data consistency across DKCs registered between TC and TC
Mainframe secondary volumes
the
group is ensured
and all pairs are

Mainframe XRC Multi Reader

Expands RRS (Read Record Set) operation throughput by
increasing internal concurrency in order to boost SideFile read
throughput capability
Takes into account recent host write throughput expansion
Specifications
Compatible with IBM XRC
Realized through a multiple RRS queue for 1 session
Previous version could operate 1 RRS queue only
# of RRS queue spec. per session : Min:2 Max:64 queue (via SDM operation)
The new versions max spec. is 64 within 1 CU

Mainframe FlashCopy Preserve Mirror

FlashCopy to the remote site at the expense of temporarily taking
the Continuous Access pair out of Duplex state

If the local site failed during the FlashCopy remote duplication, the

By combining two FlashCopy and two Continuous Access pairs, a FlashCopy data can be duplicated at the
remote site VOL without Continuous Access status leaving Duplex state

Mainframe FlashCopy Performance

Faster Incremental FlashCopy (FC) has lower performance impact on
volume IO
The longest portion of the Establish command (set differential BMP) will now occur in the
background
Primary volume performance is impacted for much less time when creating an incremental FlashCopy
The Establish Command is divided into two phases

from Command accept, to DSB=08 response : making the relationship - foreground

26
Mainframe Extended Distance FICON

Extended Distance FICON is a protocol enhancement introducing
persistent Information Units (IU)
Persistent IUs allow the host to increase the number of IUs to be in flight from the channel to the
storage control unit
Extended distance FICON also allows the channel to "remember" the last pacing update for use
on subsequent operations to help avoid degradation of performance at the start of each new
operation
Compatible with IBM Extended Distance FICON function
Transfer efficiency is improved by increasing the number of commands that are issued to read
the Record Set information and by hiding response delay in the case of long-distance
connection.

External Storage Enhancements

Connect previously unknown/unsupported storage devices to an XP as
External Storage
Allows the connection of new arrays as External Storage with reduced time/effort
Vendor and Product names are gathered from the SCSI standard Inquiry page
It is no longer be necessary to:

collect SCSI inquiry data from a host-based tool
install a profile file
External array must follow SPC-3 SCSI Inquiry standards

Identifier Type 2h(EUI-64-based) or 3h(NAA) must be supported at device identification page(page
0x83).
Faster sequential writes to External Storage through the ability to

restrict round-robin multi-path writes to a single external storage
port
Sequential write performance can be improved by recognizing a repetitive sequential write pattern via

the same port
Smart Tiers Drive Type Coexistence in a

August
Tier 2012 V04a Firmware Enhancement
Can prevent a pool full condition by adding a different drive
type to Smart Tiers
Either:
Add different drive types to Tier-3:
Example: if a SAS 7.2K RPM Tier3 pool is nearly full, SAS10K RPM or External Storage
could temporarily be added (mixed into) tier3 to avoid pool full
Or
Add a different RAID type to a single RAID type tier:
Example: if the RAID5 tier-2 was nearly full, you could temporarily add/mix RAID1
parity groups into tier-2 to avoid pool full
Note: Since single type tiers are recommended, the disparate drives should be
removed when possible, via pool shrinking
34
Smart Tiers Multiple External Storage

August
Tiers2012 V04a Firmware Enhancement
Increased flexibility when configuring Internal and External
Smart tiers
Now use external storage in more than just the lowest tier
Greater latitude in meeting performance goals
Assign the performance potential of the external storage

Example - customer can create this configuration

Tier-1 = SSD
Tier-2 = External Storage SSD
Tier-3 = External Storage SATA
35
