The journal group is registered in the EXCTG of the storage system when the YKMAKE command
is executed. If a copy pair has already been created, executing the YKMAKE SELECT(COND)
command simply registers the journal group in the EXCTG.

This subsection describes the procedures to define a 4x4 configuration for each of the following
cases:

Defining a new 4x4 configuration

Expanding to a 4x4 configuration by adding storage systems to a 2DC configuration

Changing to a 4x4 configuration without changing the current storage system

Adding a new journal group to a 4x4 configuration

Adding an existing journal group to a 4x4 configuration

The following is the legend used for the figures represented in this subsection.
