2 Overview of Continuous Access

XP Journal

Continuous Access XP Journal provides a RAID storage-based hardware solution for disaster recovery that

enables fast and accurate system recovery. After establishing Continuous Access XP Journal operations,

duplicate copies of data are automatically maintained for backup and disaster recovery purposes. During

normal Continuous Access XP Journal operations, primary data volumes remain online to all hosts and

continue processing read and write I/O operations. If a disaster or system failure occurs, you can rapidly

invoke the secondary copy of the data to allow recovery with a very high level of data integrity. You can

also use Continuous Access XP Journal for data duplication and migration tasks.

Continuous Access XP Journal represents a unique and outstanding disaster recovery solution for large

amounts of data spanning multiple volumes. Continuous Access XP Journal's group-based, update

sequence consistency solution enables fast and accurate database recovery, even after a “rolling”

metropolitan area disaster, without requiring time-consuming data recovery procedures. You can recover

Continuous Access XP Journal's journal groups (volume groups) at the out of region site with full update

sequence consistency, but updates may be chronologically behind the primary site due to the nature of

asynchronous remote copy operations.

Continuous Access XP Journal provides update sequence consistency for user-deﬁned journal groups (for

example, large databases) and protection for write-dependent applications if a disaster occurs.

When using Continuous Access XP Journal, data being copied is temporarily stored in journal volumes,

which are a type of logical volume. You can use Continuous Access XP to conﬁgure and manage

highly reliable data replication systems using journal volumes to reduce the chances of copy operation

suspensions. Copy operations can be suspended due to restrictions on data transfers from the primary

site to the secondary site.

Overview of functionality

You can use Continuous Access XP Journal to create duplicate volumes by copying data from primary

data volumes in the primary array to secondary data volumes in the secondary array at a remote

locat

ion. To duplicate volumes, perform the following steps sequentially with the primary and secondary

data volumes and journal volumes:

• Journal obtain function at the primary site

• Jour

nal copy function between the primary and secondary sites

• Journal restore function at the secondary site

Write sequence consistency is maintained at the remote secondary site by way of a write sequence

numb

er assigned to the journal data. Continuous Access XP Journal reduces occurrences of pair

susp

ended status as a result of the superior link outage tolerance provided by disk based journal volumes

for

“yet to be sent” data.
