Replacing a journal volume with a reserve journal volume

When you register two journal volumes in a journal, the second journal volume becomes the reserve journal volume, which is not used for normal operations. For instructions on using RAID Manager to replace a journal volume with a reserve journal volume, see Replacing a journal volume with a reserve journal volume using RAID Manager.

Before you begin

  • Required role: Storage Administrator (Remote Backup Management)
  • An unallocated journal volume that will be the reserve journal volume must be available.
NoteIf an unallocated journal volume is not available to become the reserve journal volume and the journal volume is blocked, you must delete the journal, restore the blocked journal volume, register the journal volume to the journal again, and then re-create the suspended UR pairs. Allocate a DP-VOL to the journal volume. For details about the restoration procedure when the DP-VOL is blocked, see the Provisioning Guide.

Procedure

  1. Add a reserve journal volume to the journal. For details, see Adding a reserve journal volume.

  2. Delete the journal volume that is in use. For details, see Deleting journal volumes from a journal .

  3. Resynchronize the journal.
