Please see “Planning ports for data transfer (page 39) for a full discussion on the type and number
of fibre-channel ports required for your system.
Planning journal volumes
In addition to sizing journal volumes, you should be aware of the following requirements and
restrictions.
Journal volumes must be registered in a journal before the initial pair-copy operation is
performed.
Journal volumes must be registered on both the local and remote systems.
Emulation type for journal volumes must be OPEN-V.
Journal volumes should be sized according to RPO and write-workload. See “Sizing journal
volumes ” (page 20) for more information.
If a path is defined from a host to a volume, the volume cannot be registered as a journal
volume.
Journal volumes in a journal can have different capacities.
A master journal volume and the corresponding restore journal volume can have different
capacities.
A data volume and its associated journal volume can belong to only one journal.
Do not register a volume to a journal during quick formatting. Doing so stalls the operation.
Data volumes and journal volumes in the same journal must belong to the same controller.
The number of journal volumes in the master journal does not have to be equal to the number
of volumes in the restore journal.
Journal volumes consist of two areas: One area is used for storing journal data, and the other
area is used for storing metadata for remote copy.
Journal volumes support all RAID configurations and physical volumes that are supported by
P9500.
Journal volume capacity is not included in accounting capacity.
Customized volumes can be used for journal volumes.
See the following for more information about journals and journal volumes:
The “Journals” item in “System requirements” (page 15)
“Planning journals ” (page 20)
Planning pair volumes
The following information can help you prepare volumes for configuration. Also, see system
requirements and specifications in “Requirements and specifications” (page 15) for more information.
The emulation and capacity for the S-VOL must be the same as for the P-VOL
When the S-VOL is connected to the same host as the P-VOL, the S-VOL must be defined to
remain offline.
You can create a Cnt Ac-J pair using a Continuous Access Synchronous initial copy, which
takes less time. To do this, system option 474 must be set on the primary and secondary
systems. Also, a script is required to perform this operation. For more on system option 474
and how to do this operation, see “System option modes ” (page 31).
Cnt Ac-J supports the LUN Expansion feature, which allows you to configure a LUSE volume
by using 2 to 36 sequential LDEVs. If two LUSE volumes are assigned to a Cnt Ac-J pair, the
capacity and configuration of the Cnt Ac-J S-VOL must be the same as the Cnt Ac-J P-VOL. For
