A Storage Server can also be used as a Storage Management Server. This enables the construction of the various AdvancedCopy Manager configurations shown in the examples below.
When no tape server is installed

Installation procedure
For all the above configurations, use the following procedures to install AdvancedCopy Manager:
Point
The Storage Management Server contains a repository that stores the operation management information of all Storage Servers. Therefore if there are numerous Storage Servers, repository access contention may arise.
In the Storage Server that is also used as the Storage Management Server, repository access contention has significant influence on transactions. Consider the use of one of the following configurations in order to minimize the effect on transactions:
Configure a dedicated Storage Management Server.
Use a configuration in which the Storage Server that has the least workload is the Storage Server that is also used as the Storage Management Server.
When a Tape server is installed

Installation procedure
Use the following procedures to install AdvancedCopy Manager:
Note
If the Storage Server is running on Solaris
To satisfy the following conditions, the Storage Server and the Tape Server must be configured separately.
Synchronous replication operations target areas that include VTOC
