Removing Journal Groups from Extended Consistency Groups

You can remove journal groups from an extended consistency group anytime, regardless of
the status of the journal groups. Also, if you delete all data volumes from a journal group in
an extended consistency group, the journal group will automatically be removed from the
extended consistency group.

Removal of journal groups from an extended consistency group does not stop remote copy
operations, but does affect the consistency in data update sequence. In the example in

Figure 78 (page 183)

, if you remove journal group 1 from the secondary EXCTG, the remote

copy operation from primary storage system 1 to secondary storage system 1 will continue.
However, the consistency in the data update sequence will only be maintained among primary
storage systems 2 and 3 and secondary storage systems 2 and 3.

Secondary Storage Systems
