Hitachi Truecopy/HUR replication resources

PowerHA® SystemMirror® Enterprise Edition Version 7.1.2 with Service Pack 2, or later, supports High Availability Disaster Recovery support for third-party vendor storage from Hitachi.

Hitachi Storage system supports short distance replication and long-distance replication through Truecopy synchronous and asynchronous replication with Hitachi Universal Replicator (HUR) technologies. PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition enables integrated discovery and management of mirrored resources for management of Highly Available (HA) resource groups.

PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition enablement for High-Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) of Hitachi mirrored storage involves the following steps:
  1. Plan the storage deployment and replication necessary for your environment. This process is related to the applications and middleware being deployed in the environment which would eventually be HA managed by PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition.
  2. Use the provided storage configuration tools provide by Hitachi to configure the storage devices you defined in step 1 and deploy them.
  3. Use PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition interfaces to discover the deployed storage devices and define the HA policies for the applications or resource groups that are consuming the mirrored storage.
