Reviewing Administrator Tasks for Managing Journals
Administrators must register journal volumes in journal groups. During XP Continuous Access Journal
remote copy operations, data in primary data volumes are copied via journal volumes to secondary
data volumes.
When configuring journal groups, the administrators must do the following:
•
Display the Journal Operation window (see “Journal Operation Window” (page 116) ).
•
Register journal volumes in journal groups (see “Registering Journal Volumes in a Journal
Group” (page 160) ).
When configuring journal groups, the administrator should do the following when necessary:
•
Delete journal volumes from journal groups (see “Deleting Journal Volumes from a Journal
Group” (page 163) ).
•
View detailed information about journal groups (see “Displaying Detailed Information about
a Journal Group” (page 164) ).
•
Change journal group options (see “Changing Options for a Journal Group” (page 167) ).
•
Delete journal groups (see “Deleting a Journal Group” (page 171) ).
When XP Continuous Access Journal is used for remote copy operations, the administrator should
do the following when necessary:
•
Split mirrors (see “Splitting a Mirror (Pairsplit-r: Suspending a Copy Operation)” (page 172) ).
•
Restore mirrors (see “Restoring a Mirror (Pairresync: Resuming a Copy Operation)” (page 173) ).
•
Delete data volumes (that is, the primary and the secondary data volumes) from mirrors (see
“Deleting Data Volumes from a Mirror (Pairsplit-S: Ending a Copy Operation)” (page 174) ).
Note: Throughout this chapter, the primary and the secondary storage systems are sometimes
referred to as local storage systems or remote storage systems. If you are logged in to the primary
storage system and are using XP Continuous Access Journal, the primary storage system is a local
storage system and the secondary storage system is a remote storage system. If you are logged
