At any computer site, users at a variety of levels need to be able to refer to accurate and timely information about the use of DASD resources. Accurate information is the only basis for sound decision making and future planning. Without adequate information it is impossible to determine how efficiently DASD space is being used, or predict how needs will grow. Accurate information is also essential for solving existing problems and for preventing problems from arising in the future.

FDRERASE
Company:
Innovation Data Processing
FDRERASE offers various levels of erase: The ERASE function of FDRERASE will overwrite every track with a single track-length record consisting of binary zeroes. This will make all data originally on each track unrecoverable by any normal means (through the disk control unit). This is sufficient for most purposes. Optionally you can specify a pattern of data for the record, a single hex byte which is replicated throughout the track-length record. Optionally you can cause the erase record to be written on each track multiple times, and can vary the pattern in each “pass”. The SECUREERASE function will default to 3 passes on each track, writing a random pattern, a complement of the first pattern, and finally another random pattern. This makes the original data unrecoverable even if the hard drives are removed from the control unit and may be used for sensitive data when the disks will be sold or scrapped.The QUICKERASE function will use hardware ERASE commands to erase all records from each track in a minimum amount of time. QUICKERASE is usually sufficient to eradicate corporate data when the disks will be reused, such as at a disaster site. The SIMERASE function will not erase any disks, but will validate your control statements and identify the disks that will be erased.

FDRERASE/OPEN
Company:
Innovation Data Processing
FDRERASE/OPEN is particularly useful for erasing all corporate data from an old disk after you have moved the data to new disks, especially if you will be removing the old disks. Failure to erase the old disks may make your data available to the eventual new owner of the disks. This may be true even if you intend to scrap the old disks, unless you physically destroy the disks.

FDRINSTANT
Company:
Innovation Data Processing
FDRINSTANT allows you to create a point-in-time image of an online DASD volume, on an offline DASD device, and backup that offline disk as if it was the online volume. The online volume is available for normal use and updates. Since the "frozen" offline image is actually read, changes to the online volume will have no effect on the backup.

FDRMOVE
Company:
Innovation Data Processing
FDRMOVE will combine the proven technology of FDRPAS (volume migration) and FDRINSTANT (instant data set copy) to provide minimally-disruptive movement of data sets. FDRMOVE can be used to move data at the data set level to new disks, and is particularly useful for combining data from smaller disks onto larger disks, such as moving three (3) 3390-3s onto a 3390-9. FDRMOVE is very easy to use.

FDRPAS
Company:
Innovation Data Processing
FDRPAS allows an OS/390 or z/OS installation to: Swap disk volumes from their current locations to new disk hardware, Move disk volumes within the installation for load balancing, Do this volume movement without interrupting any system activity, Do this volume movement during normal system operations, Swap shared DASD on all sharing systems simultaneously.

FDRREORG
