5.8  Copy Services
The IBM Spectrum Virtualize copy services and volumes copy operations are based on the 
IBM FlashCopy function. In its basic mode, the function creates copies of content on a source 
volume to a target volume. Any data on the target volume is lost and is replaced by the copied 
data.
More advanced functions allow FlashCopy operations to occur on multiple source and target 
volumes. Management operations are coordinated to provide a common, single point-in-time 
for copying target volumes from their respective source volumes. This technique creates a 
consistent copy of data that spans multiple volumes.
The IBM SAN Volume Controller Copy Services menu offers the following operations in the 
GUI, as shown in Figure 5-46:
/SM590000FlashCopy
/SM590000Consistency Groups
/SM590000FlashCopy Mappings
/SM590000Remote Copy
/SM590000Partnership

Because the Copy Services are one of the most important features for resiliency solutions, 
more technical information is available in Chapter 11, “Advanced Copy Services” on 
page 435.
5.9  Access
The Access menu in the GUI maintains who can log in to the system, defines the access 
rights to the user, and tracks what was done by each privileged user to the system. It is 
logically split into two categories:
/SM590000Users
/SM590000Audit Log
In this section, we explain how to create, modify, or remove user, and how to see records in 
the audit log.
