5 Using journal groups
To introduce XP Continuous Access Journal in your system and configure your system for remote
copy operations, the primary and secondary site administrators must configure journal groups,
ports, and logical paths. Also, these administrators must register journal volumes in journal groups.
During XP Continuous Access Journal remote copy operations, data in primary volumes is copied
via journal volumes to secondary volumes.
When configuring journal groups, administrators must do the following:
•
Displaying the Journal Operation pane
•
Registering journal volumes in journal groups
When configuring journal groups, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
•
Deleting journal volumes from journal groups
•
Displaying detailed information about journal groups
•
Changing options for journal groups
•
Deleting journal groups
When using XP Continuous Access Journal for remote copy operations, the administrator should
do the following when necessary:
•
Splitting mirrors (Pairsplit-r: suspending copy operations)
•
Restoring mirrors (Pairresync: resuming copy operations)
•
Deleting data volumes from mirrors (Pairsplit-S: ending copy operations)
NOTE: Throughout this chapter, the primary and secondary arrays are sometimes referred to as
local arrays and remote arrays. If you are logged into the primary array and are using XP
Continuous Access Journal, the primary array is the local array and the secondary array is the
remote array. If you are logged into the secondary array and are using XP Continuous Access
Journal, the secondary array is the local array and the primary array is the remote array.
