Simplify and secure migrations while minimizing disruption to the storage subsystem
With BMC AMI Storage Migration solutions, you can:
- Employ dataset allocations that maximize performance and resource utilization, while minimizing disruption and administrative effort
- Address migration requirements, while meeting stringent service level agreements
- Consolidate datasets onto higher-capacity disk volumes, so teams can maximize resource and administrative efficiency
- Consistently and efficiently address data erasure requirements with confidence
- Streamline migration and erasure efforts to help minimize errors and risk
Key capabilities
BMC AMI Storage FDRPAS
- Reduces the disruption and application downtime associated with moving whole DASD volumes to new devices
- Migrates DASD volumes within a single system or attached to multiple systems or LPARS in a shared-DASD sysplex environment
- Multiple volumes, up to 8,000 or more, can be swapped concurrently and non-disruptively with operating systems, applications, and online systems
- Supports major hardware providers including IBM®, EMC, Hitachi, and Sun StorageTek
- Swapping can occur between disks of the same type and vendor, or between disks of different vendors
BMC AMI Storage FDRPASVM
- Reduces disruption and application downtime associated with moving whole DASD volumes to new devices for z/VM® and Linux® on Z volumes
- Can be used to swap multiple volumes concurrently and non-disruptively for z/VM® users while tracking all updates made by z/VM® and virtual machine guests
- Supports non-disruptive migration of volumes containing z/VM® mini-disks, full pack mini-disks, and volumes dedicated to CMS users, LINUX® on IBM® Z®, and other guests’ file systems
BMC AMI Storage FDRERASE
- Quickly and securely erases z/OS® DASD data from disk volumes
- Use at the end of a disaster recovery exercise when decommissioning a disk control unit; after re-assigning disk volumes; or when necessary to erase residual data to meet auditing requirements
- Has earned multiple industry certifications including the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) evaluation and Common Criteria EAL2 Augmented validation for disk erasure
- Complies with U.S. Government guidelines for erasing computer disks prior to disposal
BMC AMI Storage FDRMOVE
- Provides high-performance, non-disruptive or minimally-disruptive movement of z/OS® data sets
- Can move data sets between disk volumes in the same disk subsystem, or between disk volumes in different subsystems and between different hardware manufacturers
- Ideal for volume consolidation (e.g. consolidating data from three 3390-3s to a single 3390-9) and to free up UCBs where the number is restrained by operating system limits
- Use for load balancing to reduce I/O contention within a single DASD subsystem
BMC AMI Storage FATSCOPY
- z/OS® tape copy, consolidation, migration, and conversion solution that automates the process of copying and re-cataloging tape-based datasets from one tape media to another including Virtual Tape, Vtape, and VTS systems
- Supports copying individual files or the entire contents of one or more tape volumes
- Supports all physical and virtual z/OS® tape devices including IBM® TS7700, Oracle® VTS, Dell®EMC DLm, Bus-Tech® MDL, Fujitsu CentricStor, and Hitachi VTF
- Supports the following tape management systems: Control-M/Tape, IBM® RMM, CA 1, CA TLMS, and ASG-ZaraTM
