The journal data that reached the secondary storage system, but has not yet been restored.

After marking these primary data volume tracks as modified, the primary storage system
discards this journal data. Therefore, the secondary storage system can check and mark the
journal data that has not been restored.

The primary storage system does not discard journal data from the master journal volume until
the primary storage system receives the sequence numbers of the restored journal volumes.
The sequence numbers are included in the read journal commands from the secondary storage
system.

The primary data volume records updated by host-requested write I/Os after the pair was
suspended. The XP Continuous Access Journal suspension conditions described in

Table 9 (page

42)

indicate which CU detects the condition and which pairs are suspended. See

“General

Troubleshooting” (page 218)

for troubleshooting information for XP Continuous Access Journal
