Summary section

Item

Description

Journal ID

Journal identifier.

Attribute

Whether the journal is Master, Restore, Master/Restore, or Initial (registered but no pair volumes assigned).

Number of Journal VOLs

Number of journal volumes registered in the journal, with the maximum number allowed in parentheses.

Journal Capacity

Capacity of the journal volume registered in the journal. If two journal volumes are registered, the capacity of the reserve journal volume is subtracted from the total capacity.

Number of Data VOLs

Number of volumes associated with the journal.

With the delta resync configuration, the number of data volumes registered to the journal of the mirrors not for delta resync is displayed. The number of volumes registered to the journal of the delta resync mirrors (whose status is Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure)) is not displayed.

Data Capacity

Total capacity of all the associated volumes.

With the delta resync configuration, the number of data volumes registered to the journal of the mirrors not for delta resync is displayed. The number of volumes registered to the journal of the delta resync mirrors (whose status is Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure)) is not displayed.

or MP Unit ID

MP unit identifier

Encryption

Journal's encryption information:

  • Enabled: The journal contains only encrypted volumes.
  • Disabled: The journal contains only unencrypted volumes.
  • Mixed: The pool to which the journal volume belongs contains two or more of the following:
    • Volume for which encryption is enabled
    • Volume for which encryption is disabled
    • External volume

    Note: Encryption of data is not ensured in an LDEV with the Mixed encryption status. To manage data encryption, use an LDEV in which Encryption is Enabled or Disabled.

  • Hyphen (-): The pool to which the journal volume belongs is an external volume, created in a migration volume or blocked.

Inflow Control

Whether flow of update data to the journal volume is restricted by slowing the response to hosts.

Data Overflow Watch

Number of seconds the system monitors metadata and journal data when the journal volume is full (100%). A hyphen (-) displays if Inflow Control is disabled.

Cache Mode

Whether journal data is stored in cache memory on the remote side (restore journal).

Mirrors tab

This tab displays information about the selected journal’s mirrors.

Item

Description

Mirror ID

Mirror identifier.

Attribute

Whether the journal is Master, Restore, or Initial (registered but no pair volumes assigned).

Status

Mirror’s status. For definitions, see Monitoring journal (mirror) status.

Remote Storage System

Displays the following information about the system connected to the system you accessed.:

  • Model/Serial Number: Storage system model and serial number. A hyphen displays if the mirror attribute is Initial.
  • Journal ID: Journal identifier. A hyphen displays if the mirror attribute is Initial.

Path Group ID

Path group identifier specified during pair creation.

Number of Data VOLs

Number of volumes associated with the journal.

With the delta resync configuration, the number of data volumes registered to the journal of the mirrors not for delta resync is displayed. The number of volumes registered to the journal of the delta resync mirrors (whose status is Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure)) is not displayed.

Data Capacity

Total capacity of all the associated volumes.

With the delta resync configuration, the number of data volumes registered to the journal of the mirrors not for delta resync is displayed. The number of volumes registered to the journal of the delta resync mirrors (whose status is Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure)) is not displayed.

Remote Command Device

LDEV number of the remote command device if it is assigned to the mirror.

  • The column is blank if the remote command device is not assigned to the mirror.
  • A hyphen (-) indicates the remote command device cannot be assigned to the mirror.

CTG ID*

Mirror’s consistency group identifier. A hyphen indicates there is no consistency group.

CTG Utilization*

Whether the consistency group is shared by multiple storage systems.

  • Single: The consistency group consists of a single pair of primary and secondary storage systems.
  • Multi: The consistency group consists of multiple storage systems.

Path Watch Time*

Interval from the time a path becomes blocked to the time when the mirror is suspended. A hyphen indicates if the status of the secondary mirror on the primary storage system is Hold, Holding or Hold(Failure).

Path Watch Time Transfer*

Whether to assign the master journal’s Path Watch Time value to the restore journal.

When transferred, the Path Watch Time values of the mirror's primary side (MCU) and the secondary side (RCU) will be consistent.

  • Yes: Path Watch Time value will be transferred to the mirror's secondary side (RCU).
  • No: Path Watch Time value will not be transferred to the mirror's secondary side (RCU).

Copy Pace*

Pace for copying data during initial copy: Slower (default), Medium, Faster. A hyphen indicates that the journal is a restore journal.

Transfer Speed*

Data transfer line speed in Mbps (megabits per second): 3, 10, 100, or 256.

Delta Resync Failure*

Processing that takes place in the event of delta resync operation failure Entire Copy, No Copy.

  • Entire Copy: The entire P-VOL is copied to the S-VOL.
  • No Copy: No processing occurs. The S-VOL is not updated.

Journal Volumes tab

This tab displays information about the selected journal’s journal volumes.

Item

Description

LDEV ID

Journal volume’s identifier consisting of the LDKC number, CU number, and LDEV number. Clicking the link opens the LDEV Properties window.

LDEV Name

Name of the journal volume’s LDEV.

Pool Name (ID)

Identifier consisting of the pool name and the pool ID. Clicking the link opens a window with pool information.

RAID Level

Type of RAID implementation for the journal volume.

Capacity

Journal volume’s capacity.

CLPR

Journal volume’s CLPR. The CLPR ID is displayed before the colon, and the CLPR name is displayed after the colon.

Encryption*

Encryption information:

  • Enabled: Encryption of the parity group to which the LDEV belongs is enabled, or a V-VOL is associated with a pool in which a pool volume has encryption enabled.
  • Disabled: Encryption of the parity group to which the LDEV belongs is disabled, or a V-VOL is associated with a pool in which a pool volume has encryption disabled.
  • Mixed: The pool to which the LDEV belongs contains two or more of the following:
    • Volume for which encryption is enabled
