Remote copy by Cnt Ac-J and Cnt Ac-J Z (at volumes controlled by a particular CU)

The following table shows the file names and types of information in the Usage Monitor tab in the
Cnt Ac-J and Cnt Ac-J Z window that can be exported to files using the Export Tool. These files
contain statistics about remote copy operations (at volumes controlled by a particular CU) by
Continuous Access Journal and Continuous Access Journal Z.

, the file contains the number of read I/Os (per second) of the volumes controlled

by the CU whose image number is 10.

Probable causes

Invalid values of monitoring

Performance Monitor attempted to obtain statistics when an operation for rebooting
the disk array is in progress.

Performance Monitor attempted to obtain statistics when a heavy workload is
imposed on the disk array.

There is no volume in a parity group.

Just after the CUs to be monitored were added, the Export Tool failed to save files
that contain monitoring data for all volumes or journal volumes used by remote
copy software (i.e., Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access
Synchronous Z, Continuous Access Journal, or Continuous Access Journal Z). For
details about the files, see

Table 17 (page 96)
