Continuous Access XP Journal user guide 95
5 Using journal groups
To introduce Continuous Access XP Journal in your system and configure your system for remote copy
operations, the primary and secondary site administrators must configure journal groups, ports, and
logical paths. Also, these administrators must register journal volumes in journal groups. During
Continuous Access XP Journal remote copy operations, data in primary volumes is copied via journal
volumes to secondary volumes.
When configuring journal groups, administrators must do the following:
• ” Displaying the Journal Operation pane ” on page 95
• ” Registering journal volumes in journal groups ” on page 99
When configuring journal groups, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
• ” Deleting journal volumes from journal groups ” on page 102
• ” Displaying detailed information about journal groups ” on page 103
• ” Changing options for journal groups ” on page 107
• ” Deleting journal groups ” on page 110
When using Continuous Access XP Journal for remote copy operations, the administrator should do the
following when necessary:
• ” Splitting mirrors (Pairsplit-r: suspending copy operations) ” on page 111
• ” Restoring mirrors (Pairresync: resuming copy operations) ” on page 112
• ” Deleting data volumes from mirrors (Pairsplit-S: ending copy operations) ” on page 113
NOTE: Throughout this chapter, the primary and secondary arrays are sometimes referred to as local
arrays and remote arrays. If you are logged into the primary array and are using Continuous Access XP
Journal, the primary array is the local array and the secondary array is the remote array. If you are
logged into the secondary array and are using Continuous Access XP Journal, the secondary array is the
local array and the primary array is the remote array.
