Journal ID

Journal identifier. Clicking the link displays more information about the journal and assigned mirrors and journal volumes.

Journal Type (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

Journal copy type, UR or URMF.

Attribute

Whether the journal is Master, Restore, or Initial.

Number of Journal VOLs

Number of journal volumes registered in the journal.

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.

(VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) If the journal uses multiple mirror IDs, volumes in mirrors with Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status are not included.

(VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models) 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.

(VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) If the journal uses multiple mirror IDs, the capacity of volumes in mirrors with Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status is not included.

(VSP Gx00 models and VSP Fx00 models) 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.

MP Blade ID or MP Unit ID*

MP Blade ID or MP Unit ID identifier.

Encryption*

Journal's encryption information:

  • Enabled: The journal contains only encrypted volumes.

  • Disabled: The journal contains only 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 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 (VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500), or blocked.

Force Remove Journals from EXCTG* (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

Whether the journal has been forcibly removed from an EXCTG.

Inflow Control*

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

Data Overflow Watch*

Number of seconds the system would monitor write data to the journal volume when the journal volume is full (100%). If Inflow Control is disabled, a hyphen (-) is displayed.

Cache Mode*

Whether journal data is stored in cache memory in the restore journal.

  • Enable: Journal data is stored in cache memory. When the available cache memory becomes insufficient, the journal data is also stored in a journal volume.

  • Disable: Journal data is stored in a journal volume instead of cache memory. This setting is disabled in the master journal. However, this setting is enabled if you use the horctakeover command of CCI (for Universal Replicator) or the YKRESYNC REVERSE command of Business Continuity Manager (for Universal Replicator for Mainframe) to change the master journal to the restore journal.

Timer Type* (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

Type of clock used for consistency time. Must be the same for primary and secondary storage systems.
