When connecting to SAN-attached storage, you will likely be communicating via Fibre Channel Protocol instead of FICON. This session will discuss all the steps involved in implementing an FCP connection from an IBM zSystem to an "open system" storage device. Knowledge of how traditional z storage attaches to an IBM zSystem is helpful but not required.
This session will overview how GDPS, IBM's multi-site application availability solution, integrates key availability technologies such as z/OS, z/VM, Linux, and remote copy technologies with automation to enhance application availability and improve DR for z/OS, VM, and Linux on z. The enhanced GVA, GDPS Virtual Appliance, which runs on LinuxONE systems with z/VM and Linux guests will be highlighted. GDPS offers the state of the art in terms of performance towards continuous availability. Additionally, GDPS offers our clients a way to fulfill their regulatory and business compliance requirements by granting them "insurance" in case of a disaster (i.e., disaster recovery - DR) and providing high availability (HA) as well as ease and continuity of operations (CO).
TLS (Transport Layer Security) can be used in z/VM to establish secure connections. This presentation will cover the What, Why, Where, and How of setting up and using it, while also giving examples. No background of TLS or SSL is required.
