DS8000 Service Documentation Version 6.3.3

Considerations if advanced software features are already installed

Procedure

If this storage facility already has advanced features installed, read the following information and advise the customer.
The following are examples of Advanced Function Software feature codes 07xx:
  • FC0700 Point in time Copy (PTC)
  • FC0740 Remote Mirror Copy (RMC)
  • FC0760 Remote Mirror for Z series
  • FC0780 Parallel Access Volumes (PAV)

When you increase the storage capacity by installing an expansion rack with DDMs, it is also necessary to upgrade the Advanced Function Software (if installed) to match the new storage capacity except for CoD storage.

When CoD storage is activated, it will also disable the Advanced Function unless the customer activates a new upgrade license. Refer to IBM® System Storage® DS8000® Introduction and Planning Guide.
