NOTE:
Other XP disk arrays with TC390 installed can be used as an RCU connected to an
XP12000/XP10000 MCU. For assistance with mixed disk array configurations, contact your HP
account support representative.
TC390 can coexist with XP Continuous Access (all copy modes) in the same XP12000/XP10000.
Full Fibre Channel support will allow concurrent fibre-mode XP Continuous Access and TC390
operations.
The XP12000/XP10000 may have additional installation requirements, such as system option
modes, hardware features such as CHF WP411-B, additional cache, and so forth. For more
information on XP12000/XP10000 SVP system option modes for TC390, see

Serial remote copy connections (see ”
Serial remote copy connections
• Multimode serial interface (ESCON) cables are required at both the MCU and RCU.
• For distances from 3 km to 43 km (1.9 to 26.7 miles), single-mode serial interface cables with IBM
9032 or 9033 ESCON directors (ESCDs) and/or 9036 ESCON repeaters are required.
• For distances greater than 9 km (5.6 miles), the extended distance facility (XDF) provided by the
ESCDs and/or ESCON repeaters is required.
• For distances greater than 43 km (26.7 miles), approved third-party channel extender products and
telecommunications lines are required. Long-distance TC390 solutions are provided based on user
requirements and workload characteristics.
NOTE:
Use of channel extenders may require additional XP12000/XP10000 configuration (for
example, mode 21).
All serial remote copy activities between two XP12000/XP10000s, such as TC390, TC390A, XP
Continuous Access Sync, and XP Continuous Access Async, can share the same remote copy
connections.

Remote copy connections – Fibre Channel (see ”
• Multimode or single-mode optical fibre cables are required at both the MCU and RCU.
• For distances from 0.5 km to 1.5 km (1,640 to 4,920 feet), multimode shortwave Fibre Channel
interface cables with up to two switches are required.
• For distances from 10 km to 30 km (6.2 to 18.6 miles), single-mode longwave Fibre Channel
interface cables with up to two switches are required.
• For distances greater than 30 km, approved third-party channel extender products and
telecommunications lines are required.
•
zSeries and S/390 host: MVS/DFP 3.2.0 + PTF, or VM/ESA 2.1.0 + PTF.
• Optional error recover procedure (ERP) functions require MVS/DFP 3.2.0 or later.
• ICKDSF R16 + PTF functions require VM/ESA 2.1.0 or later.
• If the primary and/or secondary system consists of several CPU complexes, a SYSPLEX timer is
required to provide a common time reference for the host I/O time-stamping function.
• APAR OW36948 is required for 16-session support for HXRC.
