Figure 60. Implement<strong>at</strong>ion of split mirror<br />

Before an applic<strong>at</strong>ion can upd<strong>at</strong>e a track on the source th<strong>at</strong> has not yet been<br />

copied, the track is copied to the target volume. After some time all the d<strong>at</strong>a is<br />

copied either by the background copy process or by write oper<strong>at</strong>ion on either<br />

the source or the target volume.<br />

When establishing the FlashCopy, the d<strong>at</strong>a on the source volume must be<br />

in a consistent st<strong>at</strong>e. This can be achieved by stopping the applic<strong>at</strong>ion and<br />

flushing the d<strong>at</strong>a from memory to disk. If the applic<strong>at</strong>ion cannot be stopped,<br />

then the applic<strong>at</strong>ion itself must provide a fe<strong>at</strong>ure to ensure th<strong>at</strong> the d<strong>at</strong>a is<br />

consistent while the FlashCopy is being established and th<strong>at</strong> it can recover<br />

from th<strong>at</strong> st<strong>at</strong>e afterwards on the target side.<br />
