Figure 3-32 Data Transfer Speed with URz (Influence on Journal Volume
Capacity)
The following factors determine the required journal volume capacity:
• the period of time during which data transfer can continue between hosts
and the primary storage system when a temporary increase in transferred
data occurs or when a communication path failure occurs between the
primary and secondary storage system.
• the data transfer speed for the period of time that is mentioned above
To determine the journal volume capacity, use the following formula. In this
formula, V
H-M
is the data transfer speed between hosts and the primary
storage system. V
M-R
is the data transfer speed between the primary storage
system and the secondary storage system. t is the length of time during which
data transfer can continue.
Journal volume capacity > V
H-M
- V
M-R
× t
If you want to calculate journal volume capacity that is required when a
communication path failure occurs between the primary storage system and
the secondary storage system, please assign 0 (zero) to V
M-R
.
The total capacity of journal volumes in each journal group must exceed the
value illustrated above.
