How will your business be impacted when the system is unavailable while a backup is performed?
What is the cost of being without the system during an unplanned outage?
How much data can you afford to lose?
®
To decide how much time, effort and money a save strategy will entail, you must ask yourself a few practical
questions:
In making decisions about your strategy for saving and data availability, you need to balance the cost of a
failure with the cost of protection against a failure.

Storage Solutions topic in the iSeries Information Center.
Availability and Recovery
Availability of a business system has become more critical with every application
and user that is added to the system. You must ensure that your entire system is
backed up and protected, and that your recovery process is known and tested
prior to any failure. See the Availability topic in the iSeries Information Center for
more information.
Additional Hardware and Software
Hardware Management Console
Journal Management
Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM)
A cluster is a collection or group of one or more systems that work together as a
single system. Clustered systems let you effeciently group your systems together to
set up an environment that approaches 100 percent availability. See the Clustering
topic in the iSeries Information Center for more information.
A licensed program to protect data on your workstations and local area networks.
Tivoli Storage Manager can automate backing up and archiving, including TSM
Client backup. It provides a disaster recovery solution for workstations. See
http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/storage_mgr, for more information.
System-Managed Access-Path Protection (SMAPP)
A licensed program to index, archive, and retrieve large volumes of historical data
onto disk, optical volumes, or tape. See the IBM Content Manager OnDemand for
iSeries System Administration, SC41-5325, for more information.
A software recovery and system integrity function that supports the logging of
changes to database files and other events that occur on the system. You can use
the journal entries to recover. Journaling is a part of Journal Management, which
can be used for an audit trail and for application testing. See the Journal
Management topic in the iSeries Information Center for more information.
Hierarchical storage management provides automatic and transparent management
of data across a storage hierarchy. The hierarchy may consist of high performance
disks, compressed disks, or tape, and is based on user-defined policies. For more
information, refer to Hierarchical Storage Management, SC41-5351.
IBM Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries

strategy. A center with a wide range of iSeries hardware for testing recovery and
performing a recovery. For more information, call 1-800-599-9950.
Manage eServer servers, logical partitions, and Capacity on Demand with the
Hardware Management Console (HMC). The HMC communicates with systems
using service applications to detect, consolidate, and send information to IBM for
analysis. If you are using the HMC, you should back up critical console data. See
the Hardware Management Console topic in the eServer Hardware Information
Center, www.ibm.com/servers/library/infocenter, for more information.
A software recovery function that supports the division of your disk storage into
logically separate areas, according to your availability and recovery needs. You can
use independent disk pools and make them available to the system when you
need to access the data. You can also geographically mirror independent disk
pools. See the Disk Management topic in the iSeries Information Center for more
information.
IBM Business Continuity and Recovery Services
Device Parity Protection
A hardware availability function that stores redundant bits of data on disk units so
that the system can recover from one or two disk failures without requiring you to
restore from a backup. In many cases, the system remains operational while a disk
unit is being repaired or replaced. See the Disk Management topic in the iSeries
Information Center for more information.
Recovery Readiness Exam
A service offered by the iSeries Availability Support Center to help you to
determine the most cost-effective way to reduce the frequency and duration of
unplanned outages.
Mirrored Protection
A software availability function that uses redundant hardware to protect from
failures associated with the disk subsystems. With mirrored protection, data is
written twice. If a disk failure occurs, the second copy of the data is used. In many
cases, the system remains operational while disk components are repaired or
replaced. See the Disk Management topic in the iSeries Information Center for
more information.
Data Migration Service Offerings
Services offered by the iSeries Availability Support Center to move data from your
current configuration to new disks or to a new system.
Dual Systems
An availability approach that provides redundancy of all critical system
components and data. Data is kept up to date on a backup system. Users can be
switched to the backup system if the primary system becomes unavailable. Several
software providers have developed programs to support this approach.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
iSeries Information Center
www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
Combined hardware and software capabilities that keep the system running for a
short period after a power loss and stop the system normally. This reduces the
time to perform an IPL when the power returns. See the Planning topic in the
eServer Hardware Information Center for more information.
eServer Information Center
www.ibm.com/servers/library/infocenter
