52 Continuous Access XP Journal
NOTE: If the journal transfer speed falls short of the desired speed, check the usage rate of channel
processors. If the usage rate of some channel processors is high, the journal transfer speed may be
increased if you add channel processors.
Configuring primary and secondary disk arrays for Continuous Access XP Journal
operations
After you install the Continuous Access XP Journal hardware and software, you can configure the primary
and secondary disk arrays for Continuous Access XP Journal operations.
1. Identify the Continuous Access XP Journal data volumes and journal volumes in the primary and
secondary disk arrays. You must know the disk array’s S/N and port ID, so you can configure the
primary and secondary disk arrays correctly for the desired pairs. When you create the pairs, you must
know each volume’s port, target ID, and LUN.
2. Connect to the local disk array you want to use. For more information about Command View XP or XP
Remote Web Console installation and operations, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP User
Guide for XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console User Guide for
XP12000/XP10000 or contact your HP account support representative.
NOTE: You must log in with Administrator or Continuous Access XP Journal write access, and you
must be in Modify mode. If you are in the View mode, you can view the Continuous Access XP
Journal pair status, but you cannot modify the settings.
3. Click the Continuous Access XP Journal button ( ). The Journal Operations pane appears.
4. Click the DKC Operation tab.
5. Select Port, and set the initiator and RCU target ports (see ” Configuring port attributes ” on page 79).
6. In the DKC Operations pane, select DKC. The Add DKC pane appears.
7. Set the S/N of the disk array to be connected, controller ID, path group ID, initiator port in this disk
array, and RCU target port in the disk array to be connected (see ” Associating primary and remote
disk arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC) ” on page 80).
8. In the Add DKC pane, click Option, and set the local disk array’s options (see ” Associating primary
and remote disk arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC) ” on page 80).
9. In the Journal Operation pane, specify the journal group number.
10. In the Edit JNL Volumes pane, register the journal volumes (see ” Deleting journal volumes from journal
groups ” on page 95).
11. In the Paircreate pane of the Pair Operation tab, register the primary and secondary data volumes and
the journal groups that are paired (see ” Creating a pair of data volumes (Paircreate) ” on page 112).
NOTE: Continuous Access XP Journal pairs can only be registered by the primary disk array.
12. Exit the Continuous Access XP Journal, and disconnect from the disk array.
13. Repeat step 3 through step 9 for each disk array that will function as a Continuous Access XP Journal
primary disk array. After you configure the primary disk arrays, add the secondary disk arrays, and
configure the Continuous Access XP Journal options and journal groups, you can begin Continuous
Access XP Journal volume pair operations.
