Setting up journal groups
Continuous Access Journal uses journal volumes as volume copy buffers. You must set up journal
groups before creating Continuous Access Journal volume pairs. Journal Groups are used to keep the
journal data for asynchronous data transfer. Journal groups must be set in each storage system on
both the primary and secondary side. The journal volume for the primary site and the primary volume,
and the journal volume for the secondary site and the secondary volume, are defined as journal
groups.
You can set journal volumes and journal groups by using a wizard on the JNLGs tab in the Storage
Systems view.
For details on how to add journal groups, see “ Adding journal groups ” on page 126.
About journal groups
Journal Groups are used to keep the journal data for asynchronous data transfer and must be set up
before creating Continuous Access Journal volume pairs. Journal groups must be set in each storage
system on both the primary and secondary side.
Replication Manager allows you to specify journal groups when all of the following conditions are
met:
• An open system is being used
• The storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 or XP24000/XP20000
• A license has been registered for Continuous Access Journal
For a volume to be used as a journal volume, the volume must meet the applicable requirements for
the storage system type. For more information, see “
Storage system types and volume requirements
(journal) ” on page 122.
For each journal group, you can specify journal options. Specify each item according to the journal
group status. To view items that can be specified as journal options, see “
Items permitted for journal
options ” on page 124.
