Summary section

Item

Description

Journal ID

Journal identifier.

Attribute

Indicates whether the journal is 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 in parentheses.

Journal Capacity

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

Number of Data VOLs

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

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 associated volumes.

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

MP Unit ID

MP unit identifier

Encryption

Journal's encryption status:

  • Enabled: The journal contains encrypted volumes.

  • Disabled: The journal contains unencrypted volumes.

  • Mixed: The journal contains both encrypted and unencrypted volumes.

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

  • - (hyphen): The pool to which the journal volume belongs is an external volume or blocked.

Inflow Control

Indicates 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 will monitor write data to the journal volume when the journal volume is full (100%). A hyphen (-) is displayed if Inflow Control is disabled.

Cache Mode

Indicates whether journal data is stored in cache memory at the secondary site (restore journal).

Mirrors tab

From this tab, you can review information about the selected journal’s mirrors.

Item

Description

Mirror ID

Mirror identifier.

Attribute

Indicates 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 (-) is displayed if the mirror attribute is Initial.

  • Journal ID: Journal identifier. A hyphen (-) is displayed 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 associated volumes.

With the delta resync configuration, the total capacity of the data volumes registered to the journal of the mirrors not for delta resync is displayed. The total capacity of the data 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*

Indicates whether the consistency group is shared by multiple storage systems.

  • Single: The consistency group consists of a single pair of primary and secondary 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.

When the status of the mirror's secondary side (RCU) is Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure), a hyphen (-) is displayed.

Path Watch Time Transfer*

Indicates whether to transfer the master journal's Path Watch Time value to the mirror's secondary side (RCU). 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 is the default, Medium, Faster. A hyphen (-) indicates 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: The entire P-VOL is copied to the S-VOL.

  • No Copy: No processing occurs. The S-VOL is not updated.

Journal Volumes tab

From this tab, you can view 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 ID. The ID displays before the colon; the CLPR name displays after the colon.

Encryption*

Encryption information:

  • Enabled: The parity group encryption 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: The parity group encryption 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 both pool volumes for which encryption is enabled and pool volumes for which encryption is disabled.

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

  • - (hyphen): The LDEV is an external volume. For DP-VOLs, the pool to which the LDEV belongs is either an external volume or blocked.
