Replacing a journal volume with a reserve journal volume using CCI

Before you begin

• Required role: Storage Administrator (Remote Backup Management)

• An unallocated journal volume that will be the reserve journal volume must be available.

• Specify the CCI instance number by using the –I parameter as needed.

Procedure

1. Add a reserve journal volume to the journal.

raidcom add journal -journal_id <journal ID#> -ldev_id <ldev#>

• <journal ID#>: Specify the journal ID to which the replacement target journal volume is registered.

• <ldev#>: Specify the LDEV number of the unallocated journal volume that will be the reserve journal volume.

2. Check the LDEV number of the journal volume that is currently being used.

raidcom get journal

• The LDEV number displayed in the LDEV# column of the command output is the LDEV number that is currently being used.

3. Delete the journal volume to be replaced.

raidcom delete journal -journal_id <journal ID#> -ldev_id <ldev#>

• <journal ID#>: Specify the journal ID to which the replacement target journal volume is registered.

• <ldev#>: Specify the journal volume LDEV number checked in step 2.

4. Resynchronize the journal.

pairresync -g <group>

• <group>: Specify the data volume group name that is using the journal. The group name to be specified here is the group name defined in the CCI configuration definition file.

• Specify the -IH parameter as needed.
