Background…
FDRPAS… FDR Plug and Swap•Available since 2001 with more than 1700 licensed installations•Will non-disruptively relocate DASD disk data •Move logical volumes from…
– old disk to new disk during a hardware upgrade – highly active (hot) to less active (cooler) disk for I/O load balancing
•Old Source volume is put offline; Label is modified so it cannot be brought online•Will not interfere with ongoing business operations
10© Copyright 2015 All rights reserved.
Software Support
All current z/OS operating systems including z/OS 2.1•Supports JES2 and JES3•Multiple systems and/or Sysplexes•All volume and data set types:
– System/Application/TSO/Database/ Catalog /SYSRES…/CICS…/HFS…/Sysplex Coupling Data Set / JES Spool…/Checkpoint Volumes… / “inactive” page and swap data sets
•Any volume can be swapped… – except… “Active” Local Page or Swap data sets
• Define new page and swap data sets on new volumes and migrate the paging activity to them with the console PAGEDEL REPLACE or the console PAGEADD and PAGEDEL commands…

What’s new in FDRPAS…Continuously Evolving To Be More Efficient…
•FDRPAS and FDRMOVE now use less common storage and fewer CPU cycles
•FDRPASVM for MIGRATION of z/VM VOLUMES and LINUX on z VOLUMES…… all new FDRPASVM will have its own discussion
•SIMPLIFY MIGRATING LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA and VERY LARGE NUMBERS OF VOLUMES
•AUTOMATE to ELIMINATE HUMAN ERRORS

•JUST-IN-TIME MONITORS… No manually starting monitors on individual LPARs, GENSWAP jobs submit a monitor job to all of the necessary LPARs, and pass to it a list of SWAPUNITs containing only those target units that to be used by the main job.

What’s new in FDRPAS forEfficiency and Business Resiliency… ?Improve user application performance on volumes with PAV… •ALLOWPAV… keeps PAV active reducing application I/O wait time during the SWAP
Improve the performance of SWAP for a Large Numbers Of Volumes…•GENSWAP… sorts devices by size, control unit, then by SSID to spread the SWAP jobs across all control units Improves wall clock and reduces channel IO contentionImprove Efficiency and Business Resiliency for GDPS and GDDR…•Keeps HyperSwap/AutoSwap active while FDRPAS is copying data, disabling it for only the brief the time the volume addresses are actually being swapped
•Using HyperSwap ENABLE and DISABLE, instead of STOP and START further reduces the amount of time that HyperSwap is inactive in the system
23© Copyright 2015 All rights reserved.
What’s new in FDRPAS to eliminate human errors?QUERY HOST ACCESS (QHA)…•Using a hardware facility available on newer storage systems FDRPAS can know which LPARs have a volume you are swapping online, allowing FDRPAS to ensure that monitor tasks are running on all the necessary LPARs and eliminating the need for manually including or excluding a CPUID
COMMON PAGE DATA SET RETRY…•Instead of a volume failing to SWAP and a job having to be resubmitted, if a common page data set is updated by a page-out, FDRPAS now simply recopies the data set on the next pass and the SWAP completes normally.

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)
31© Copyright 2015 All rights reserved.
• 3 files:– CALCDASD EXEC – understand the environment– EXTRFDRP EXEC – unwind DISTPIPE (saves typing)– FDRPASVM.DISTPIPE – the product code
• 2 virtual machines:– PASMAINT – stores the binaries– FDRPASSV – FDRPAS service virtual machine
• 1 CMS command:– FDRPAS – with many subcommands
• MONITOR TYPE SWAP• MONSTAT• STOP

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

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
34© 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.
35© 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.”
36© 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.”

Testimonial of Satisfaction…from a Large Financial Institution
Non-Disruptive MigrationThe business units requirements that relyon Linux volumes have made it very difficultfor us to schedule outages to move theirsystems. FDRPASVM now allows us tomove them non-disruptively like FDRPASdoes for our z/OS volumes. A Large Financial Company”

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.”
