Continuous Access XP Journal operations requirements and restrictions

Journal pairs. You can use LUN Manager to protect volumes assigned to Continuous Access XP Journal

pairs.

NOTE:

A UNIX or PC server cannot access Continuous Access XP Journal secondary data volumes unless

the pair is split.

Combining Continuous Access XP Journal and Performance Control XP

Initiator ports in the primary array do not support the HP StorageWorks Performance Control XP option.

Combining Continuous Access XP Journal and Business Copy XP

You can use Continuous Access XP Journal and Business Copy XP together in the same array and on the

same volumes to provide multiple copies of data at the primary and/or remote sites.

Table 19

describes

host pair status reporting for Continuous Access XP Journal volumes, Business Copy XP volumes, and

Continuous Access XP Journal/Business Copy XP shared volumes.

Table 20

shows the currency of the

data on a shared Continuous Access XP Journal/Business Copy XP volume based on Continuous Access

XP Journal and Business Copy XP pair status.

For shared Continuous Access XP Journal/Business Copy XP volumes, the Continuous Access XP

Journal pair status is reported to the host if you query the Continuous Access XP Journal primary or

secondary data volume. To obtain the Business Copy XP pair status, query the Business Copy XP pair’s

P-VOL.

Business Copy XP supports multiple S-VOLs for each P-VOL. If you issue a pair status query to a

Business Copy XP P-VOL (for example, pairdisplay), the status of only one Business Copy XP pair is

reported (the pair with the S-VOL having the lowest LDEV ID). To obtain the pair status for the Business

Copy XP pairs with other S-VOLs, you must direct the host query to the specific S-VOL using the

S-VOL’s LDEV ID in the host command. The Business Copy XP displays the port, TID, LUN, LDEV ID and

Business Copy XP pair status of all S-VOLs associated with a P-VOL.
