A primary data storage system is linked to a geographically remote secondary data storage system for automatically maintaining a remote copy of the data in the primary storage. Each of the data storage systems has at least one data storage device, a cache memory, a data storage system controller, and a service processor for servicing the data storage system. The primary and secondary service processors are linked to permit remote system configuration and remote software programming of the secondary data storage system, and to exchange a report of all the non-valid, out of sync tracks. The service processors can also perform the task of scanning for remote write pending bits to invoke the remote copy task, and checking for invalid track bits to invoke a task for copying data from a known good storage device to the device with the invalid track bit set. |
