IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
Table 2-7 FCoE and iSCSI differences
FCoE allows for fewer network adapters to be required as both protocols can share the same
adapter, reducing hardware cost and freeing up bus slots in hosts.

2.6 Advanced copy services
IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node supports the following Copy services:
��
FlashCopy
��
Synchronous Remote Copy
��
Asynchronous Remote Copy
2.6.1 FlashCopy
FlashCopy makes a copy of a source volume on a target volume. The original content of the
target volume is lost. After the copy operation has started, the target volume has the contents
of the source volume as they existed at a single point in time. Although the copy operation
takes time, the resulting data at the target appears as though the copy was
made instantaneously.

of the source volume as they existed at a single point in time. Although the copy operation
takes time, the resulting data at the target appears as though the copy was
made instantaneously.
FlashCopy is sometimes described as an instance of a time-zero (T0) copy or a point in time
(PiT) copy technology.
(PiT) copy technology.
FlashCopy can be performed on multiple source and target volumes. FlashCopy permits the
management operations to be coordinated so that a common single point in time is chosen
for copying target volumes from their respective source volumes.

for copying target volumes from their respective source volumes.
IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node also permits multiple target volumes to be
FlashCopied from the same source volume. This capability can be used to create images
from separate points in time for the source volume, and to create multiple images from a
source volume at a common point in time. Source and target volumes can be thin-provisioned
volumes.

volumes.
Reverse FlashCopy enables target volumes to become restore points for the source volume
without breaking the FlashCopy relationship and without waiting for the original copy
operation to complete. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node supports multiple targets and
thus multiple rollback points.

FCoE
iSCSI
Local-area, lossless links, no routing allowed
Allows many hops, lossy connections and high
latency
latency
Simple encapsulation of Fibre Channel
Substantial complexity on top of TCP
Low overhead – similar to Fibre Channel
Overhead varies - typically higher
Storage administrators know Fiber Channel well
TCP/iP well understood by most IT staff
Frame loss can quickly become catastrophic
Frame loss recovery built into protocol stack
