With this product, you can create a snapshot of a GDS logical volume (replica at a certain time). AdvancedCopy Manager supports the backup and replication operations of logical volumes in linkage with GDS Snapshot.
Backup operation that performs management with the specified number of preservation generations
When a number of backups specified as backup generations have already been collected, if the next backup is performed, the backup volume having the oldest backup history is deleted from the generation management. This is called generation overflow. The number of backup generations is specified in the backup policy setting command.

Replication in which the source and destination are volumes connected to different servers
Name of a logical server in a cluster system
Abbreviation for Logical Unit Number. Logical unit defined under a channel adapter on a storage unit.
Assign and set up LUN which shows Logical unit LUN (Logical Unit Number) defined as the channel adapter subordinate in GR720/GR730/GR740 storage equipment from the HOST side, and real LUN (mapping). Thereby, HOST to LUN0 and visible Logical unit can be set up with real Logical unit LUNxx.
See "Multipath disk control."
See "Multipath disk control, load balance option."
Driver software that performs multipath disk control of the host server.
Failover driver software that merges two physical access paths into one logical path to avoid stopping access to a disk array unit because of the failure of one physical access path.
Driver software that performs multipath disk control of the host server. This driver has a load balance (path load distribution) function and multipath (two to eight paths) function in addition to the multipath disk control failover function. Therefore, it is superior in terms of reliability, operability, and performance enhancement and the most suitable driver software for a SAN operation server.

Unit of copying execution by the advanced copy function
It is a disk at the copy used with SnapOPC destination. It is necessary to define Snap Data Disk beforehand before SnapOPC is used.
It is a copy method to copy the state before the updated data division is updated when data is updated, and to maintain the state an original unupdate part and before it additionally updates it. (It is a copy method by the copy on light method.)
Because capacity can be reduced at the copy destination, the copy of efficient data can be gathered.
