Overview of Continuous Access XP Journal

• C is the master journal volume’s total capacity (in megabytes).
• u is the master journal volume’s data usage rate (as a percentage).
• V is the data transfer speed between the primary and secondary arrays. The unit is MB/s

(megabytes per second).

To find a journal volume’s usage rate, use the monitoring feature (see ”

Monitoring remote copy

operations

” on page 135).

SMPL (simplex)

Volume is not currently assigned to a Continuous

Access XP Journal data volume pair and does not

belong in the journal group. When this volume is

added to a Continuous Access XP Journal data

volume pair, its status changes to COPY.

COPY

Initial copy operation for this pair is in progress.

This data volume pair is not yet synchronized.

When the initial copy is complete, the status

changes to PAIR.

PAIR

Data volume pair is synchronized. Updates to the

primary data volume are duplicated on the

secondary data volume.

PSUS

(pair suspended-split)
(see

Table 5 on

page 34

for split

types)

Data volume pair is not synchronized because

you split this pair (pairsplit-r) or deleted this pair

from the secondary array (pairsplit-S). For

Continuous Access XP Journal pairs, the primary

and secondary arrays keep track of any journal

data discarded during the pairsplit-r operation.

While a pair is split, the primary and secondary

arrays keep track of the updated primary and

secondary data volume tracks.
When you split a pair from the primary array, the

primary array changes the status of the primary

and secondary data volumes to PSUS. When you

split a pair from the secondary array, the

secondary array changes the secondary data

volume’s status to PSUS. The primary array

detects this (if path status is normal) and changes

the primary data volume’s status to PSUS.
When you delete a pair from the secondary

array, the secondary array changes the

secondary data volume’s status to SMPL. The

primary array detects this (if path status is normal)

and changes the primary data volume’s status to

PSUS. You must delete the pair from the primary

array to change the primary data volume’s status

to SMPL.
