Registering Journal Volumes in a Journal Group
To perform remote copy operations with Universal Replicator for Mainframe, the primary site
administrator must register journal volumes in journal groups in the primary storage system. Also,
the secondary site administrator must register journal volumes in journal groups in the secondary
storage system. One journal group can contain up to 16 journal volumes.
CAUTION:
Do not register the volume as a journal volume during quick formatting or the quick
formatting process will not complete. For details about quick formatting see the HP
XP24000/XP20000 Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User's Guide.
To register journal volumes, follow the procedure below. Both the primary storage system
administrator and the secondary storage system administrator must perform this operation:
1.
Ensure that the Remote Web Console main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web
Console User's Guide.
2.
Ensure that the Journal Operation window is displayed.
3.
In the tree of the Journal Operation window, do either of the following:
•
To register new volumes to a journal group in which journal groups are already registered,
select the journal group from below Registered.
CAUTION:
You can register volumes only when the attribute of the journal group is
Initial or when the status of the journal group is Active, Stop, Hold, Holding, or
Hold(Failure).
•
To register volumes to a journal group in which journal groups have not been registered,
select the journal group from below Free.
NOTE:
You cannot select more than one journal group.
4.
Do either of the following:
•
In the tree, right-click the selected journal group and then select Edit JNL Volumes from
the pop-up menu.
•
In the upper-right list, right-click the desired journal group and then select Edit JNL Volumes
from the pop-up menu.
5.
In the Free Volumes list of the Edit JNL Volumes window (
), select the volumes that you want to register.
In the Free Volumes list, one row represents one volume. If you cannot find the volumes that
you want to register, do any of the following:
•
Select the PG radio button, enter a parity group number in the text boxes to the right,
and then select Show. The list displays volumes in the specified parity group. Finally,
select the volumes that you want to register.
•
To register external volumes, select the PG(Ext.) radio button, enter a parity group number
in the text boxes to the right, and then select Show. The list displays volumes in the
specified parity group. Finally, select the volumes that you want to register.
NOTE:
Parity group numbers for external volumes start with the letter E, but you do not
need to enter E in the text boxes. For example, if you want to specify the parity group
number E1-2, you only need to enter 1 and 2 into the text boxes.
•
Select the CU radio button, select a CU number from the drop-down list to the right. The
list displays volumes in the specified CU. Finally, select the volumes that you want to
register.
