Chapter 30. IIBM TotalStorage Rapid Data
Recovery
IBM TotalStorage Rapid Data Recovery is a service offering solution from IBM Global
Services based on enterprise Remote Copy Management Facility (eRCMF).
eRCMF is a standalone tool that provides a management layer for ESS800, DS8000, and
DS6000 Copy Services in two-site or three-site topologies. It is a common management tool
for both z/OS and open system environments. The Copy Services functions managed by
eRCMF are Metro Mirror, Global Copy, Global Mirror, and Metro/Global Copy. At each site, a
FlashCopy of the local volumes can also be managed.
This solution simplifies the process of repairing inconsistent Remote Copy pairs after an error
with the copy process. eRCMF assists the user in automating the Remote Copy and
FlashCopy processes.

Note: Because of its complex implementation, IBM Global Services (IGS) will work with
your IT department to install and configure the solution to match your unique business
environment. The storage servers, servers, and WebSphere software have to be ordered
through the normal process. IGS provides eRCMF software and experts that support the
implementation, education, and skill transfer for this solution.
