9.

For Delta resync Failure, specify the processing that takes place when the delta resync operation
cannot be performed. This option is specified on the primary site only.

Entire, the default. The entire P-VOL is copied to the S-VOL.

None: No processing is performed; the S-VOL is not updated.

Select None if the delta resync S-VOL is shared in one of the following combinations:

- A BC Z P-VOL and a THP V-VOL

- An SS P-VOL and a THP V-VOL

- An FS P-VOL and a THP V-VOL

With these combinations, selecting Entire results in a failed full copy. With None, recover
the delta resync S-VOL by deleting the in-system pairs, copying the delta resync P-VOL to
the S-VOL, and then recreating the in-system pairs.

10. Click Set when finished.
11. Review settings in the Preview list in the Journal Operation window.

To modify a setting, right click and select Modify.

To cancel a setting, right click and select Cancel.

12. Click Apply to apply the settings. If an error occurs, right click the item in the Preview list and

select Error Detail.

Deleting journal volumes from a journal

You can delete journal volumes as needed. This topic provides instructions and important information
for doing so.

Prerequisite information

You can delete a journal volume

A journal volume can only be deleted if either of the following conditions exist:

If the pair belonging to the mirror in the journal is suspended.

If the pair belonging to the mirror in the journal is deleted.

If you delete a mainframe journal volume from a journal where a pair has been registered,
the deleted volume (LDEV) is blocked. To reuse the volume as a data volume, you must format
the volume. Unless you format the volume, data in the volume is not guaranteed. For instructions
on formatting volumes, see HP P9000 Provisioning for Mainframe Systems User Guide

To delete a journal volume, mirror statuses in the journal must Initial, Stopped, or Hold (Failure).

However, if a journal uses multiple mirrors, journal volumes can only be deleted as shown
below.
