NOTE:

Throughout this chapter, the primary and the secondary storage systems are sometimes

referred to as local storage systems or remote storage systems. If you are logged into the primary
storage system and are using Universal Replicator for Mainframe, the primary storage system is a
local storage system and the secondary storage system is a remote storage system. If you are
logged into the secondary storage system and are using Universal Replicator for Mainframe, the
secondary storage system is a local storage system and the primary storage system is a remote
storage system.

Registering Journal Volumes in a Journal Group

To perform remote copy operations with Universal Replicator for Mainframe, the primary site
administrator must register journal volumes in journal groups in the primary storage system. Also,
the secondary site administrator must register journal volumes in journal groups in the secondary
storage system. One journal group can contain up to 16 journal volumes.

CAUTION:

Do not register the volume as a journal volume during quick formatting or the quick

formatting process will not complete. For details about quick formatting see the HP StorageWorks
