Install the Cnt Ac-J remote copy connections (cables, switches, and so on) between the primary
and secondary systems.
When setting up data paths, distribute them between different storage clusters and switches
to provide maximum flexibility and availability. The remote paths between the primary and
secondary systems must be separate from the remote paths between the host and secondary
system.
System option modes
To provide greater flexibility, the P9500 has additional operational parameters called system
option modes (SOMs) that allow you to tailor the P9500 to your unique operating requirements.
The SOMs are set on the SVP by your HP representative.
The system option modes can be used for several kinds of Cnt Ac-J customizations, including:
2DC configuration
Delta resync configuration
Configuring split options for mirrors
Improving initial copy time
The following table lists and describes the SOMs for Continuous Access Journal. For a complete
list of SOMs for the P9500, see the HP XP P9000 Owner Guide.
NOTE: The SOM information may have changed since this document was published. Contact
your HP representative for the latest SOM information.

DescriptionMode
When the SVP detects a blocked path:448
Mode 448 ON: An error is assumed and the mirror is immediately suspended.
Mode 448 OFF: If the path does not recover within a specified period of time, an error
is assumed and the mirror is suspended.
Note: Mode 448 setting is available only when mode 449 is set to OFF.
Mode 449 ON: The SVP does not detect blocked paths.449
Mode 449 OFF: The SVP detects blocked paths and monitors the time until the mirrors
are suspended.
It is strongly recommended that the path between the main and remote storage systems
have a minimum data transfer speed of 100 Mbps. If the data transfer speed falls to
466
10 Mbps or lower, Cnt Ac-J operations cannot be properly processed. As a result, many
retries occur and Cnt Ac-J pairs may be suspended. This SOM is provided to ensure
proper system operation for data transfer speeds of at least 10 Mbps.
ON: Data transfer speeds of 10 Mbps and higher are supported. The JNL read is
performed with 4-multiplexed read size of 256 KB.
OFF (default): For conventional operations. Data transfer speeds of 100 Mbps and
higher are supported. The JNL read is performed with 32-multiplexed read size of 1
MB by default.
Note: The data transfer speed can be changed using the Change JNL Group options.
With mode 474 set to ON, the initial copy time for a Cnt Ac-J pair is improved when
using the Cnt Ac-S initial copy operation.
474
The procedure requires use of a script, with the following operations:
Cnt Ac-J initial copy operation, with "None" specified for the Initial Copy parameter.
Split the Cnt Ac-J pair.
Cnt Ac-S initial copy operation, using the split Cnt Ac-J pair volumes.
