8. Assign the remote command device to the mirror ID of the XP Continuous Access Journal pair
for the delta resync operation on the XP Continuous Access Synchronous secondary site.
Additionally, assign remote command device to the mirror ID 00.
9. Assign the remote command device to the mirror ID of the XP Continuous Access Journal pair
on the XP Continuous Access Journal secondary site. Additionally, assign the remote command
device to the mirror ID of the XP Continuous Access Journal pair for the delta resync operation.
For more information about the configuration of the delta resync operation to support remote
command devices, see
“Configuring Delta Resync Operation Environment that uses Remote
Command Devices” (page 91) .
If you release the XP Continuous Access Synchronous pair created in step 2, the XP Continuous
Access Journal pair created in step 6 will be released as well. In addition, if you release the XP
Continuous Access Journal pair created in step 4, the secondary data volume of the XP Continuous
Access Journal pair created in step 6 will be deleted. In this case, you can only perform the deleting
operation on the remaining primary data volume.
For detailed information about installing and using XP Continuous Access Synchronous, see the
HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 XP Continuous Access Software User and Reference Guide.

Requirements for Creating an XP Continuous Access Journal Pair for the Delta Resync Operation
To create an XP Continuous Access Journal pair for the delta resync operation, you must perform
the following tasks:
•
Create the pair in the 3DC multi-target configuration.
•
Do not include the 3DC multi-target configuration in the system that consists of multiple primary
and secondary storage systems.
•
Use XP Continuous Access Synchronous S-VOL in PAIR status as the primary data volume.
•
Use XP Continuous Access Journal data volume in PAIR status as the secondary data volume.
•
Use the mirror ID from 1 to 3 that is not used by the secondary data volume.
•
Fulfill the conditions to combine XP Continuous Access Journal with other functions in “Whether
Non-XP Continuous Access Journal Volumes Can Be Used as XP Continuous Access Journal
Volumes” (page 72)
.
•
Set the system option mode 506 to ON at all sites.
In addition to the above-mentioned requirements, all XP Continuous Access Journal pairs in the
journal group must satisfy the following requirements when you create more than one XP Continuous
Access Journal pair for the delta resync operation:
•
Use the same mirror ID for all pairs.
•
Use the same restore journal group for all pairs.

technical support.
Requirements for Performing the Delta Resync Operation
Before performing delta resync operations, specify an XP Continuous Access Journal pair that
belongs to the journal group whose XP Continuous Access Journal pairs meet the following
requirements:
