NOTE: Doing this calculation for multiple volumes can result in inaccuracies. Perform the
calculation for each volume seperately, then total the bitmap areas. The following examples
show correct and incorrect calculations. Two volumes are used: one of 10,017 cylinders and
another of 32,760 cylinders
Correct calculation
ceil ((10,017 x 15) / 122,752) = 2 ceil ((32,760 x 15) / 122,752)
= 5 Total: 7
Incorrect calculation
10,017 + 32,760 = 42,777 cylinders ceil ((42,777 x 15) / 122,752)
= 6
NOTE: If using LUSE volumes, add 1 to the required number of bitmap areas calculated in the
formula above.
To calculate the maximum number of pairs
The maximum number of pairs is determined by the following:
The number of bitmap areas required for Continuous Access Journal (calculated above).
The total number of bitmap areas in the storage system, which is 65,536.
Bitmap areas reside in an additional shared memory, which is required for Continuous Access
Journal.
Bitmap areas are used not only by Continuous Access Journal, but also by Continuous
Access Journal Z, Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access Synchronous Z,
and External Storage Access Manager. Therefore, the number of bitmap areas used by
these other program products (if any) must be subtracted from 65,536, with the difference
used to calculate the maximum number of pairs for Continuous Access Journal.
If Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal share the same volume,
you must use the total number of bitmap areas for both pairs regardless of whether the
shared volume is main or remote.
The maximum number of pairs supported per storage system, which is 32,768. If RAID Manager
is used, it is 32,767.
Calculate the maximum number of pairs using the following formula.
Maximum number of pairs = floor( Number of bitmap areas / required
number of bitmap areas )
If the calculated maximum number of pairs exceeds the total number of LDEVs, and the total LDEVs
are less than 32,768, then the total LDEV number is the maximum number of pairs that can be
created.
Maximum initial copy operations and priorities
During configuration, you specify the maximum number of initial copies that can be run at one
time. The system allows up to 128 initial copies to run concurrently. You do this for performance
reasons (the more initial copies running concurrently, the slower the performance).
You will also specify the priority for each initial copy during the create pair operation. Priority is
used when you are creating multiple initial copies during an operation. Creating multiple initial
copies in one operation is possible because you can specify multiple P-VOLs and S-VOLs in the
Paircreate dialog box. The pair with priority 1 runs first, and so on up to 256.
