Continuous Access XP Journal operations requirements and restrictions

Installing hardware

You and the HP representative initially install the Continuous Access XP Journal hardware. To install the

hardware required for Continuous Access XP Journal operations:

1.

User: Identify the locations of the Continuous Access XP Journal primary and secondary data volumes,

so the Continuous Access XP Journal hardware can be installed and configured properly.

2.

HP Representative: Ensure that the primary and secondary arrays are configured for Command View

XP or XP Remote Web Console operations (for example, SVP is connected to the LAN). 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/SVS200.

3.

HP Representative: Ensure that the primary and secondary arrays are properly configured for

Continuous Access XP Journal operations (for example, cache and NVS) (see

Cache and nonvolatile

storage (NVS)

” on page 44). Ensure that the desired SVP modes are enabled (see

Table 3

). Ensure

that adequate cache is installed and available for Continuous Access XP Journal operations. You must

also consider the amount of Cache LUN XP data to be stored in cache when determining the required

amount of cache.

4.

HP Representative: Ensure that the primary arrays are configured to report sense information to the

hosts. Secondary arrays should also be attached to a host server to enable sense information reporting

if a problem with an secondary data volume or secondary array occurs. If the remote site is

unattended, secondary arrays should be attached to a host server at the primary site, so the system

administrator can monitor the operational condition of the secondary arrays.

5.

HP Representative: If power sequence control cables are used, set the power select switch for the

cluster to LOCAL to prevent the host from powering off the primary array. Also ensure that the

secondary array will not be powered off during Continuous Access XP Journal operations. See ”
