4.3 <strong>XIV</strong> Remote Mirroring usageRemote Mirroring solutions can be used to address multiple types of failures <strong>and</strong> plannedoutages, from events affecting a single <strong>XIV</strong> system or its components, to events affecting anentire data center or campus, or events affecting an entire geographical region. When theproduction <strong>XIV</strong> system <strong>and</strong> the disaster recovery (DR) <strong>XIV</strong> system are separated byincreasing distance, disaster recovery protection for more levels of failures is possible, asillustrated in Figure 4-8. A global distance disaster recovery solution protects fromsingle-system failures, local disasters, <strong>and</strong> regional disasters.Remote MirroringSingle <strong>System</strong> Failure• Component failures• Single system failuresLocal Disaster• Terrorist Attacks•Human Error•HVAC failures• Power failures• Building Fire• Architectural failures• Planned MaintenanceRegional Disasters• Electric grid failures• Natural disasters- Floods- Hurricanes- EarthquakesHigh Availability Metro Distance Recovery Global Distance Recovery<strong>IBM</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> TMFigure 4-8 Disaster recovery protection levels©2009 <strong>IBM</strong> Corporation 3Several configurations are possible:► Single-site high-availability <strong>XIV</strong> Remote Mirroring configurationProtection for the event of a failure or planned outage of an <strong>XIV</strong> system (single-systemfailure) can be provided by a zero-distance high-availability (HA) solution including another<strong>XIV</strong> system in the same location (zero distance). Typical usage of this configuration is an<strong>XIV</strong> synchronous mirroring solution that is part of a high-availability clustering solutionincluding both servers <strong>and</strong> <strong>XIV</strong> storage systems.
