One-to-One Journal Group Operations
Continuous Access Journal requires a one-to-one relationship between the logical volumes of the
volume pairs. Supported configuration for journal group pair is P9500/XP24000/XP20000 to
P9500/XP24000/XP20000 with a 1-to-1 relationship. That is, 1 journal group in one
P9500/XP24000/XP20000 array can only pair with 1 journal group in another
P9500/XP24000/XP20000 array.
Continuous Access Journal does not support operations in which one primary data volume is copied
to more than one secondary data volume, or more than one primary data volume is copied to one
secondary data volume.
