NOTE:

If the metadata or journal data cannot be stored for a given length of time because the metadata or

journal data areas are full with metadata or journal data that has not been discarded, the pair is

suspended. Use a Command View XP management station or XP Remote Web Console to specify this

timeout period (Data overflow watch) as a journal group option. This timeout period must be within the

range of 0 to 600 seconds. For more information, see

Changing options for journal groups

.

Consistency groups

Continuous Access XP Journal consistency group numbers are equivalent to Continuous Access XP

Asynchronous consistency group numbers. Therefore, you can create a Continuous Access XP Journal

pair with consistency group numbers from RAID Manager XP as is the case with Continuous Access XP

Asynchronous. In Continuous Access XP Journal operations, consistency group numbers specified from

RAID Manager XP are assigned to the journal group numbers.
Consistency group number specifications are different from journal group number specifications. Each

array has the ability to manage a total of 128 consistency groups for the primary and secondary data

volumes (No. 0 to 127 are assigned).

NOTE:

The consistency group number of primary and secondary data volumes to be paired must be the same.

NOTE:

When Continuous Access XP Journal and Universal Replicator for z/OS coexist in the same local

array, the consistency group number must be different from the Continuous Access XP Asynchronous

consistency group number.

Figure 4

shows the corresponding consistency group and journal group numbers.
