Assigning an MP blade to a journal

You can assign an MP blade or MP unit that controls journals.
Note If you want to change MP blade IDs for multiple journals, wait for at least 10 minutes before changing another MP blade ID. In addition, after changing an MP blade ID, if you want to change the ID of the same journal, wait for at least 30 minutes. Waiting 30 minutes minimizes the possibility that changing the journal ownership might fail or that the UR pair might be suspended.

To perform this task in CCI, use the raidcom add journal command.
