Downtime se refiere a un periodo de tiempo o un

sistema(usualmente un computador server) es

resultado de either falla de sistema (such as a
crash or routine maintenance.

Cost Vs Recovery Time
Cost

• RTO Minutes
• RPO Last Transaction
• CDP Continuous Data Protection / Point-in-Time
  Recovery

Time Taken To Recover

• Cost depends on size of your business, the
  industry you are in, your
• relationship with customers and ability of
  your competitors to take advantage
• of the situation
• Time Taken To Recover is defined generally using
  RTO, RPO and CDP

21
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the time period
after a disaster at which business functions need
to be restored.

• iTera HA is able to provide an RTO in minutes.
  
• All business applications will have a re-start
  time (re-starting the database and
• switching communications). This generally
  adds extra minutes to every RTO.
• Different business functions may have different
  recovery time objectives. For
• example, the recovery time objective for the
  payroll function may be two days,
• whereas the recovery time objective for sales
  order processing may be two hours.
• iTera HA is able to recover each business
  function separately which improves
• flexibility.

RTO Is An Important Metric For Comparing HA DR
Technologies
22
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
Recovery Point Objective (RPO). In a disaster
you will generally lose some data. The RPO is the
time (relative to the disaster) to which you plan
to recover your data.

• For example, if you take overnight backups, the
  recovery point objective will
• often be the end of the previous day's
  activity.
• iTera HA using remote journaling in
  asynchronous mode will generally result
• in sub second data loss.
• iTera HA using remote journaling in synchronous
  mode will result in zero data
• loss (guaranteed data delivery).

Built-From-The-Start for Remote Journaling
iTera HA Built-From-The-Start For Remote
Journaling
iTera HA Design Advantages

• Staging area is not needed
• Fewer jobs above MI interface
• Less I/O generated per transaction
• Data crosses MI Interface fewer times
• Easier to install
• Easier to manage monitor
• More reliable (fewer moving parts)
• Faster delivery of data to backup DB
• Uses less disk resource
• Uses less CPU resource

Other HA Solutions Have Remote Journaling

journaling which needs a staging area. RJ

• Band-Width. Efficiently used, typically 1MBit
  can support 1MJTPH
• Comms Interruptions. Can restart and catch-up
  quickly without full database resynch.
• Practical Distance. Very practical for long
  distances because efficient comms use low
  overhead
• Over-head. Minimal impact on production, uses
  less than 5 CPU typically.
• Data Loss. Typically less than 1 second, data
  very fast on and off the line.
• Disabled Target. Does not disable the target
  database so you can offload reporting.
• Data Integrity. Maintained at the business
  transaction level, support commitment control.
• Select/Omit. User can select which libraries,
  objects and applications to mirror and which not
  to.
• DASD Required. Works with any DASD.

iTera HA Design Advantages

• Eliminates the main cause of files going on
  hold (row level update error)
• If a row update fails then file goes
  automatically into heal mode while mirroring
  continues
• A concurrent job is automatically started which
  retrieves the failed record from the
• source file by relative record number (RRN)
  and repairs the record by RRN on the target file.
• Operators can review repair history at later
  stage
• Helps to always maintain Role-Swap-Ready (RSR)
  status
• Makes HA easier to monitor and manage

iTera HA Design Advantages

• The Apply Accelerator helps to eliminate latency
  between remote journal and target DB
• If latency detected (user threashold) another
  apply route automatically and moves
• transactions in bulk using memory until
  latency eliminated
• Apply accelerator preserves FIFO integrity and
  can accelerate apply up to 400
• Eliminates a time consuming operator activity
• Fixes latency issues effectively

iTera HA Design Advantages

• ZZ Audit looks for activity on backup that did
  not come from iTera HA and heals it (rollback)
• This means that it is not essential to lock
  objects on the backup system during mirroring

• Improves performance
• Reduces potential for locking conflicts
• Improves usability of backup database

iTera HA System Monitoring

• System Monitor shows all important status
  information for a production backup system on a
  single screen
• E2KG Monitor runs continuously in the background
  and checks role-swap-ready (RSR) status at user
  defined intervals. Heals and
• notifies. Some tasks are continuous,
• Some daily and some weekly
• Host Cluster Monitor allows multiple LPARs or
  systems to be monitored from a single screen

iTera HA Automated Role Swap

• Role Swap Type ROLLOVER is executed to allow
  the business to continue on the
• backup system while planned maintenance
  occurs on production system
• Role swaps are initiated from the backup system
  however, if your systems are cluster-
• enabled, you can performed a role swap from
  any CRG and any system.
• Prior to the role swap type ROLLOVER a series
  of automated pre-check are run by the
• E2KG monitor. This ensures that the backup
  is in Role Swap ready (RSR) status.
• Role Swap Type FAILOVER is
• executed in the event of a
• unplanned production system
• outage and is therefore executed
• without pre-checks
• During the automated role swap
• a number of user configurable
• tasks are run in sequence. A

How MIMIX EchoStream Works
Ethernet (IP) network attachment

• Data Tap on Source Server captures changes
• Writes to local buffer occur synchronously
• then are asynchronously transferred to the
  target server
• Replicates only changes to production data
• Contexts used to maintain write order consistency
• Recovery Storage can be any heterogeneous storage

Target/Recovery Server
Source/Production Server
Recovery Storage
Protected Storage
47
MIMIX EchoStreams Replication Process

• Applications write to primary storage as usual
• EchoStream maintains an exact replica of the
  Production Servers data
• Copies all disk writes
• Ordered by time sequence
• Across an IP network
• Prior to the Recovery Server overwriting data,
  the information is saved in an undo log
• Recover the applications data by selecting
• Recovery point (Time)
• Recovery location on either Production or
  Recovery Server
• While the snapshot is in use, data protection
  continues
