Linux for zSeries Data Protection © Copyright 2008, Innovation Data Processing Patrick Fitzsimmons

IT managers still find the backup/restore process brings the most storage related ANXIETY

A single INNOVATION solution that leverages the unique strengths of IBM System z, zSeries, pSeries AIX, SUN SPARC and Intel x-86 servers to provide enterprise strength protection for databases and data on distributed storage. The FDR/UPSTREAM suite is a comprehensive business resiliency solution that provides data protection and business continuance for servers and databases every where in the enterprise. The FDR/UPSTREAM Suite

Storage Servers FDR/UPSTREAM –z/OS mainframe –Same client as the Reservoir –Tape compatible with the Reservoir UPSTREAM Reservoir –Windows –AIX –Linux (Intel, zLinux, pSeries Linux) –Solaris (Intel or Sun)

FDR/UPSTREAM Clients Windows NT/XP/Vista Windows Server 2003/2008 Novell NetWare Novell OES2 Linux IBM AIX Sun Solaris Sun X86 VMware HP-UX Tru64 UNIX X86 Linux Linux for zSeries Linux for pSeries z/OS UNIX Any system that can be NFS mounted can be backed up/restored

Supports zLinux clients on z/OS on Linux LPAR or z/VM virtual machine Support for SuSE, Marist, Red Hat, and Debian on zSeries and includes: –Full-featured daemon –Backup, restore, file transfer and other UPSTREAM storage management features –A variety of file system features including hard links, symbolic links, owners, Reiser, ext2, ext3, GFS, MAPFS, GPFS, XFS, NFS, single file system support, and remotes NFS attachments –Online support for Oracle, DB2, and Domino –UPSTREAM Rescuer –Leverages HiperSockets if installed UPSTREAM zLINUX

Flexible Operations Centralized administration and control that can be performed from z/OS server Most operations can also be performed from the client giving client administrators control for restore operations Automated operations that keep administrators informed –event notification can send and SNMP Trap notifications –JCL condition code checking

User Interfaces Director Management interface—platform independent JAVA Application that can be run from anywhere –Web browser enabled –End User Restore Interface ISPF Interface Command Line Character mode Operations Include Backup/Restore/Inquiry Status Display File Transfers Run Process

Scheduling Operations can be initiated from: –z/OS with your EXISTING z/OS Job Scheduler such as CA7 or Zeke or –UPSTREAM z/OS Integrated Scheduler Client Initiated –UPSTREAM Dispatcher Client Scheduler or –Your EXISTING Client Scheduler such as CRON

UPSTREAM z/OS Initiated BATCH Submissions Initiate Backup, Restore & Run Functions Can Wait for Process Completion…Return Code Processing Can initiate multiple, concurrent operations Used as an interface to host-based JOB scheduling systems

Methods to Minimize Amount of Data Transmitted Advanced de-duplication Data Reduction methods enable you to complete backup processing in your backup window Logical File level Full Merge Backup Incremental Backup Processing Duplicate File Recognition Data Compression Exclude/Include On-Line Database Agents Auto Migrate inactive data Segmented backup support

Client Compression to Help Reduce Data Transmission UPSTREAM offers 5 levels Fast Compression uses RLE for medium-high speed environments High Compression uses 3 levels of LZW for slow speed environments, minimizing usage of MVS storage May not be help for OS/390 UNIX - define your goal

Full Merge Backup Client TapeDisk Full Merged Backup TapeDisk Full BackupIncremental Backup (1) Incremental Backup (2) UPSTREAM Storage Server or Reservoir

Forward Merge Backup Creates a full backup WITHOUT transmitting any unchanged data Full Merge is constructed with Incremental Backup carry unchanged data from previous full = Full Server Image on 1 tape or tape set Overcomes many limitations such as line speed, backup window and limited number of tape drives Supports backups to both DASD and Tape Uses 1 backup profile per server

Run Jobs Backup/Restore related jobs can: Quiesce databases Perform system maintenance tasks Pre & Post Processing Jobs-Open system jobs can be executed from z/OS, and/or before or after backups or restores Can be host or open system scheduled Host jobs can be submitted from the open system Used with for database agents

UPSTREAM Data Management Individual client or global policy managed Backup data managed by existing external tape management system Retention periods usually managed with GDGs with benefit that system maintains itself Can also use expiration dates Migrate Disk Backups to Tape Repro Tape for Off-Site Vaulting Bi-Directional File Transfer

UPSTREAM Merge Data Management Utilities Migration—Intelligent DASD movement from DASD to tape that provides profile tape stacking Deferred Merge—Helps overcome tape drive availability issues and reduce backup window Forward Migration—additional Tape Stacking Utility. Reads in old tapes, mods todays data & writes, all on new tapes

UPSTREAM Backup Dataset Migration UPSTREAM efficient disk management facility that migrates backups from DASD to tape Able to put backups for more than 1 server/instance on same tape set UPSTREAM database updated to reflect new location of tape backups Can restore a single file DIRECTLY from tape!

FDR/UPSTREAM Security Interfaces with mainframe security systems ACF2, RACF, Top Secret Interfaces with client security system –Netware Directory Services (NDS) –Registry –Active Directory –ACLs –UNIX Permissions Owners & Groups

Disaster Strikes! With FDR/UPSTREAM You Have the Tools to recover Reliable restores of data files and systems databases Vaulting recovery –NDS –Active Directory –System State –Windows Automated System Recovery – UPSTREAM Rescuer

Additional Copies for Off-site Vaulting Off-Site Vaulting Powerful utility for offsite tapes Creates secondary tape copy for DR to be stored in an offsite vault For on-site recovery if primary backups are damaged or unusable Can also be used for backups requiring long-term retention
