HP XP7 Replication Manager User Guide (TK981-96013, May 2014)

You can set journal volumes and journal groups by using a wizard on the JNLGs tab in the Storage

Systems view.

For details on how to add journal groups, see “Adding journal groups” on page 121.

About journal groups

Journal Groups are used to keep the journal data for asynchronous data transfer and must be set up

before creating Continuous Access Journal volume pairs. Journal groups must be set in each storage

system on both the primary and secondary side.

Replication Manager allows you to specify journal groups when all of the following conditions are

met:

• An open system is being used.

• The storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, XP24000/XP20000, VP9550, or XP7.

• A license has been registered for Continuous Access Journal.

For a volume to be used as a journal volume, the volume must meet the applicable requirements for

the storage system type. For more information, see “Storage system types and volume requirements

(journal)” on page 117.

For each journal group, you can specify journal options. Specify each item according to the journal

group status. To view items that can be specified as journal options, see “Items permitted for journal

options” on page 118.
