Your organization’s z/OS DASD environments house your most critical data and represent a significant strategic investment. With BMC AMI Storage Management solutions, you can ensure these storage subsystems are optimized for resource utilization, performance, and resilience with full protection for your data.
Safeguard your mission critical data by optimizing your storage management procedures
-
Monitor, analyze, and automate storage allocation for efficiency and optimization
-
Ensure business continuity for production applications and disaster recovery
-
Consistently execute volume and data set reorganizations to ensure optimal resource utilization
-
Use health checking and customizable reports to regularly analyze storage environments
Key capabilities
BMC AMI Storage FDR
Full-volume and dataset backups and restores
Restore datasets in their entirety or selectively by data set name or VSAM cluster
Print contents of DASD data tracks including physical layout of each track, physical record, and key field
Create Stand Alone Restore (SAR), an IPL-able program to restore FDR full-volume backups when an operating system is unavailable
Use the SAR to setup a new data center by restoring backups of volumes prepared at another site
BMC AMI Storage FDRABR
Automates the execution of FDR full-volume and data set backups and restores
A powerful suite of flexible and high-performance z/OS DASD backup and recovery tools
Suite includes capabilities for managing volume and incremental backup, application backup, data archive, migration, and space management
FDRABR also includes FDREPORT for storage management reporting
BMC AMI Storage FDREPORT
Draws information from a multitude of sources to produce customized reports on storage-related information
Contains a set of pre-defined health-check reports that provide a snapshot of critical mainframe storage statistics
Reports can be tailored to Storage Administrators, Operations Support, Data Analysts, Data Security and Audit Specialists
Information is viewable in z/OS Batch reports and TSO/ISPF displays
BMC AMI Storage FDRINSTANT
Creates point-in-time copies of online source volumes and data sets while source volumes are still available for updates
Rapidly creates data set copies within the same storage subsystem
Enhances full volume and data set backup, data set copying, and FDRABR incremental backups
BMC AMI Storage COMPAKTOR
Ensures storage volumes are operating at maximum performance and efficiencyConsolidates free space into one or two contiguous areas to ensure data set allocation is placed on the right disks with correct primary and secondary allocations
Merges extents from sequential, PDS, PDSE, VSAM, and extended format VSAM data sets and releases all or part of the unused space
BMC AMI Storage FDRREORG
Fast, flexible, and intelligent VSAM data set reorganization
Reorganizes VSAM KSDS, alternate index (AIX) files, IAM and IAM AIX files, and PDS files
Provides data set reorganization for IAM files while data sets are open for updating in CICS regions
Significantly faster than VSAM IDCAMs reorganization, providing a 20 to 60 percent reduction in wall clock, CPU time, and I/O operations (EXCP) compared to VSAM IDCAMs
BMC AMI Storage Allocation
Reduces the cost of storage management and improves data availability
Ensures proper allocation of critical application data sets
Reports on disk and tape allocation exceptions within the DFSMS infrastructure
Includes the BMC AMI Storage StopX37/II functionality
BMC AMI Storage StopX37/II
Operates at the system level to intercept abend conditions and standards violations
Prevents space abends, NO CATLG2 and JCL errors, and unitialized data set errors
Reduces primary and secondary space allocations and enhances data set allocation efficiency
Included with BMC AMI Storage Allocation
BMC AMI Storage Automation
Diagnoses storage issues and initiates automated recovery procedures
Maximizes data availability to control costs
Sends notifications when thresholds and defined storage conditions are reached
BMC AMI Storage Reporting
Provides views and reports to safeguard the health of storage subsystems
Uses performance thresholds to trigger automated tasks to optimize the storage environment
Gathers real-time and historical data on pools, volumes, data sets, and VTOCs for daily storage management tasks
