SolutionCA is meant for remote replication as a tool for achieving Disaster Recovery solution.
In plain English - when you loose your entire building BC won't save your data, CA will do.

Re: purpose of BC and CA
Are you thinking possibly about accessing the same LUN by many hosts? You would need clustering in this case.
BC only creates a 'picture' of a state of your data at certain point in time. Then you can access this 'picture' - mount to a host, but still only a sinlge one if you don't implement clustering.

Re: purpose of BC and CA
BC is Business copy. This is the point-in-time copy of your prdocution data. Some of the uses of BC are,
1) Backup operation
2) Data Mining
3) test /development
1) backup operation:
In a large data environment, production LUN cannot be kept down until backups are performed on it. You take a snapshot of the production LUN and use this snapshot to perform your backup operation. Your production LUN need not be kept for this purpose. This snapshot is called Business copy.
If your storage has enough space you can maintain more than 1 snapshot of a LUN so that a recovery can be performed faster from this snapshot, faster than from recovering through a backup tape.
2) Datamining
You can take a snapshot of the production data and use the snapshot for performing analysis on the data. This ensures that your production LUN need not be used directly for such purposes.
3) Test / development
A snapshot can be used for test /development purposes. The developers can use this snapshot independant of the production data to perform any upgrades, fixes and test it before porting the same to the Production environment.
Hope this helps.
With regards,
Mohan.

Re: purpose of BC and CA
some i have understand, my exact questions are i have confused before asking the questions. but now i got little bit idea abt BC, so now let clear BC which creating at host side as well as storage side is correct at the first time of creation at host will be P vol correct? strogage will S- vol,
now host will be s vol when we are split the BC and same pairs will be used by another host ?
if u r getting confuse please clear me as you know well
thanks

Re: purpose of BC and CA
BC is used to attach the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Washington, Idaho, and Montana to the rest of the earth.
CA performs a similar function for Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Baja California.
