Serial remote copy connections

Figure 9 shows Continuous Access XP serial remote copy connection configurations. The MCU and RCU

of each pair must be connected via multimode ESCON cables. For distances greater than 3 km,

single-mode cables up to 20 km in length and ESCDs and/or ESCON repeaters are required. ESCDs

support the extended distance facility (XDF), which uses single-mode ESCON cables up to 20 km.

ESCON repeaters support single-mode-to-single-mode connections or single-mode-to-multimode

connections. When disk arrays running Continuous Access XP are more than 9 km apart, XDF

connections provided by ESCDs or ESCON repeaters are required. Continuous Access XP operations can

be performed at distances of up to 43 km (26.7 miles) using standard ESCON support. Long-distance

solutions are provided using approved channel extenders and communication lines.
