Many users forget that AIX can mirror logical volumes over IP between different storage subsystems using GLVM - either synchronously or asynchronously since AIX 6.1. As organisations move some of their workloads into the cloud, GLVM has found new popularity as the only way to replicate AIX logical volumes if the application itself doesn't support IP replication.
We have just released a draft of the Redpaper "Asynchronous Geographic Logical Volume Mirroring (GLVM) Best Practices for Cloud Deployment" that provides a good introduction to GLVM, its components, its operation and its implementation in on-premise and cloud environments.
It can be found at:
