GDPS is designed to work with Metro Mirror (PPRC), z/OS Global Mirror (XRC), or Global Mirror disk replication protocols. These protocols are not only supported by the IBM TotalStorage DS6000 and DS8000 family of disk, but also made available to any vendor. Some disk features require specific commands that need to be sent to the disk subsystem. A matrix showing what is required for which features can be found in:
