recovery procedures for your operating system, or contact your HP support representative for

Recovering a Pinned Track on a Journal Volume

If a pinned track occurs on a Universal Replicator for Mainframe master or restore journal volume,
the procedure for pinned track recovery is as follows:

1.

Identify the journal group that contains the journal volume where a pinned track occurs. After
that, split the mirror where the journal group belongs.

2.

Delete the journal volume containing the pinned track from the journal group.

3.

Format the journal volume by using the LDEV format function of VLL. For detailed instructions
on how to format the volume, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Virtual LVI/LUN
(VLL) and Volume Shredder User's Guide
.

4.

Register the formatted volume (or another volume that can be used instead of the formatted
volume) in the journal group.

If you do not need to resume copying, the procedure is now finished.

To resume copying, continue to restore the mirror to which the journal group belongs (see

“Restoring

a Mirror (Resuming a Copy Operation)” (page 180)

).
