Journal Group

The URz journal groups have the following requirements:

Each URz pair must be assigned to one and only one journal group. Table 3-9 shows the journal group specifications.

Table 3-9 Journal Group Specifications

Item

Support specifications

 

 

Number of journal groups

Up to 256 journal groups (No. 0 - 255) per one disk subsystem

Note: The recommended number of journal groups is up to 16.

 

 

 

Number of data volumes in a journal

Up to 4,096

group

 

 

 

Number of journal volumes in a journal

Up to 64

group

 

 

 

Number of Mirror IDs

Up to 4 (ID No.: 0 to 3)

 

Note: If TCz Sync. uses No. 0, No. 1 to 3 are available for URz.

The same number of journal volumes is not required in the master journal group and the restore journal group that are paired.

Mirror ID is required for the configuration that will be supported in the future within the 3-data center (3DC), including the expected future enhancement to enable the user to pair one master journal group with two or more restore journal groups. Each pair relationship in a journal group is called "Mirror". Mirror ID identifies two or more mirrors that one journal group has. The same Mirror ID of the journal group is applied to the data volume pair. See section TCz Synchronous (3DC Cascading Configuration) for 3DC configurations.

Table 3-10 shows the specifications of relationship between the data volumes, between the journal volumes, and between the data volumes and journal volumes in a journal group.

CLPR

Journal volumes and data volumes in the same journal group can belong to different CLPRs.

 

Journal volumes must belong to the same CLPR. Data volumes must also belong to the same

 

CLPR.

 

Note: A primary journal group and the corresponding restore journal group need not belong to the

 

same CLPR.

 

 

Note: When URz and UR coexist in the same USP V storage system, each journal group must contain either URz pairs or UR pairs (not both).
