Identify the volumes that will become the XP Continuous Access Journal data volumes and
journal volumes in the primary storage system and secondary storage system.
•
You need to know the storage system S/N and port ID so that you can configure the
primary storage systems and secondary storage systems correctly for your desired pairs.
•
When you create the pairs, you will need to know the port, group ID (GID), and LUN for
each volume.
2.
If this program product is running on a primary storage system or secondary storage system,
stop XP Performance Monitor to avoid overloading with TCP/IP traffic.
3.
Connect to the storage system that you want to use. For further information on Remote Web
Console installation and operations, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console
User Guide or contact your HP service representative. Perform this operation at a primary
storage system and a secondary storage system.
You must log in with Administrator or XP Continuous Access Journal write access, and you
must be in Modify mode. If you are in View mode, you can see the XP Continuous Access
Journal pair status, but you cannot modify the settings.

Select the DKC on the DKC Operation window to open the Add DKC window. Set the S/N
of the storage system that will be connected, the controller ID, the path group ID, the initiator
port in this storage system, and the RCU target port in the storage system that will be connected
(see
“Establishing the Relationship Between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems (Add
). Perform this operation on both a primary storage system and a secondary
storage system.
7.
Click Option on the Add DKC window, and then set the desired options for the local storage
system (see
“Establishing the Relationship Between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems

). Perform this operation on both a primary storage system and a secondary
storage system.
9.
Register the primary and secondary data volumes and the journal groups that are paired from
the Paircreate window in Pair Operation (see
“Creating a Pair of Data Volumes (Paircreate)”
).
Note: XP Continuous Access Journal pairs can only be registered by the primary storage
system.
10.
Exit the XP Continuous Access Journal remote console software, and disconnect from the
storage system. Perform this operation on both a primary storage system and a secondary
storage system.
11.
Restart Performance Monitor, when necessary. On a primary storage system and a secondary
storage system, you will start Performance Monitor.
12.
Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each storage system that will function as an XP Continuous Access
Journal primary storage system. After you have configured the primary storage systems, added
the secondary storage systems, and configured the XP Continuous Access Journal options and
journal groups, you are ready to begin XP Continuous Access Journal volume pair operations.
