Therefore, the impact of a storage system outage is more widespread, typically impacting a Sysplex and potentially causing a Sysplex-wide outage.

Storage systems today manage more data (about 50+ TB within each storage system on average). IBM extended the availability features of Sysplex and Parallel Sysplex to data. Customers have implemented IBM Parallel Sysplex® to provide the highest availability that is available today. Many z/OS customers today require their applications to be available 24x7. With the new Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication V5.2 running on Open Systems, you can now manage many Basic HyperSwap sessions in multiple sysplexes and monoplexes from just one Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication server. On older versions of Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication running on a z/OS system, you could manage only one Basic HyperSwap session from one Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication server. Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication V5.2 can add a connection to an IBM z/OS® system from a Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication Open Systems installation on Windows, IBM AIX®, or Linux, and manage the z/OS Basic HyperSwap® function.
