31. SRDF/A R2 Site Consistency Indicator SRDF/A R2 Data is Consistent :True Production Site Secondary Site Provides administrator with consistency state of SRDF/A target data to aid in determining required disaster restart operations Now also reported on the R2 host as well as the R1 when the SRDF/A session is active and inactive R1 R2
32. SRDF/A Minimum Cycle Time SRDF/A now reduces data loss exposure to an absolute minimum for large workload environments ensuring data consistency Previous Cycle Times: 5 to 60 seconds Enginuity 5773 Cycle Times: 1 to 60 seconds Enginuity 5773 Cycle Times with SRDF/CG: 3 to 60 seconds Target Source N-1 Receive N-2 Apply N Capture N-1 Transmit R2 DSE DSE WAN
