Key Point Summary - FDRPASVM is Unique… FDRPASVM is a new high availability solution to non-disruptively move the DASD volumes of running z/VM & Linux on z systems, concurrently migrating many volumes, owned by many users to new DASD hardware… No other tool does this FDRPASVM (GA 2014) is built on proven FDRPAS technology – Over 1700+ customer migrations since 2001 FDRPASVM has helpful tools to: – Estimate the migration effort – Validate the environment – Manage the migration You don’t have to bring z/VM or Linux systems down to move DASD

SIMPLIFY MIGRATION of z/VM and LINUX on z DASD… FDRPASVM supports non-disruptive migration of: – User and CP-Owned volumes – z/VM Minidisk volumes (PERM) – Full-pack and DEDICATEd volumes – CP-Owned (must have two PAGE and two SPOOL volumes) – Smaller to larger volumes (ex: 3390-9 to 3390-27) FDRPAS functions: – SIMSWAP – Simulate and validate main swap task – SIMSWAPMON – Simulate and validate monitoring updates – SWAPDUMP – Create point-in-time copy of volume(s) – SWAP – Copy and swap volume(s)

14 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. What’s does FDRPASVM do for Business Resiliency… ? Customers tell us they are configuring SSI & LGR to: – Eliminate planned outages – Allow for non-disruptive hardware processor maintenance – Protect themselves against local disruption FDRPASVM extends the scope of these SSI & LGR objectives – While SSI & LGR are relocating memory and CPU… – FDRPASVM concurrently relocates z/VM & Linux disk storage
15
15 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. Recent FDRPASVM customer experience… In a z/VM 6.3 SSI environment Successfully migrated 10 TB of data in one day One sample job migrated: – 54 DASD volumes – Containing 3 TB of data – in 31 minutes (5.7 TB/hr) Avoiding… costly z/VM and Linux outages, the need for a project manager and many weekends of extra work
16
16 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. What problems did customer face? Storage technology refresh to accommodate Linux on z growth. Need to keep outage windows to an absolute minimum Desire to perform DASD technology refresh and to move data around for performance improvements without having to engage with Business Units…and negotiate for long-duration outages.
17
17 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. Why did these problems exist? “The z/VM and Linux on z data migration process involved a costly ($$$) services agreement with our DASD vendor to “precopy” the data to new footprints and then perform cutovers during planned standalone windows (which were subject to 11th-hour cancellations by the BU).” “To perform a cutover, we had to go through extensive planning for these events with the Business Units, multiple IT groups to coordinate activities for standalone windows, including extensive timeline planning in the event a backout is needed.”
18
18 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. Why did customer consider FDRPASVM? “Data migrations using INNOVATION FDR products (FDRPAS, FDRMOVE) have been so successful and “foolproof” over the years that I’ve earned an exemption from the change team to have very low-level “standard” changes to perform these migrations.” “z/VM and Linux on z migrations using FDRPASVM allows us flexibility in how and when we schedule our data migrations.” “Non-prod migrations can actually be performed during the week which minimizes the amount of work my team needs to do on weekends.”
19
19 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. Testimonial of Satisfaction… from a Large Financial Institution Non-Disruptive Migration The business units requirements that rely on Linux volumes have made it very difficult for us to schedule outages to move their systems. FDRPASVM now allows us to move them non-disruptively like FDRPAS does for our z/OS volumes. A Large Financial Company ” “
20
20 © Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. What benefits did customer realize? Perform technology refreshes and move data around for performance improvements without having to engage Business Units and application teams to negotiate for long-duration outages. Save time and eliminates planned outages for DASD migration. Keep the systems up making money for the firm. “The biggest benefit is the ability to now move ALL our mainframe (including z/VM and Linux on z ECKD) data around non-disruptively.”
