Table 1 General system requirements (continued)

Requirement

Item

RAID Manager consistency groups
when multiple primary and
secondary storage system

An EXCTG can contain journals from a maximum of four systems.

A journal cannot be registered in more than one EXCTG.

Journals

Max. number: 256 (0 to 255) per storage system

Recommended number: Up to 16

Max. number of journal volumes: 64 per journal

Max. number of data volumes: 8,192 per journal

Journal numbers of master and restore journals that are paired can be different.

A data volume and associated journal volume can belong to only one journal.

Data volumes and journal volumes that belong to different controllers cannot
be in the same journal.

The number of journal volumes in the master journal does not have to be equal
to the number of volumes in the restore journal.

The P-VOLs and S-VOLs in a journal must be located in one physical primary
system and one physical secondary system (1-to-1 requirement).

Each pair relationship in a journal is called a "Mirror". Each pair is assigned
a Mirror ID. Max. number of Mirror IDs = 4 (0 to 3).

When Continuous Access Journal co-exists with Continuous Access Journal Z
in the same storage system, individual journals must be dedicated either to one
or the other, but not both.

Master and restore journals are managed according to the journal number.

NOTE:

The capacity of journal volume is not included in the accounting capacity.

NOTE:

Continuous Access Journal can co-exist with Continuous Access Journal Z in the same

storage system.

Business Continuity Manager specifications

Business Continuity Manager commands for Continuous Access Journal Z pair operations are
issued from the host system console to the storage system. With Business Continuity Manager
commands, you can add, suspend, resume, and release pairs, as well as monitor pair status. You
can also add and delete DKC.

The two tables that follow provide values for the P9500 system adapter ID (SAID). For more
information, see the manual of Business Continuity Manager.
