Configuring for remote mirroring

When you configure IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot, you can set the configuration parameters to create snapshots by using target volumes of remote mirroring relationships. These target volumes are used to create application consistent snapshot backups.

Before you begin

Before you configure IBM Storage Protect Snapshot to use target volumes that are associated with remote mirroring one of the following technologies must be deployed:

• SAN Volume Controller or Storwize® family Global Mirror and Metro Mirror
• IBM XIV® Storage System Synchronous Remote Mirroring and Asynchronous Remote Mirroring
