8 Monitoring the Cnt Ac-J Z system
Monitoring pairs, journals, data paths, I/O, and hardware performance is crucial for ensuring
that Continuous Access Journal Z pairs continue to function correctly.
This topic provides information and instructions for monitoring a Continuous Access Journal Z
system.
Monitoring pair activity, status, license capacity
Monitoring the Continuous Access Journal Z system and licensed capacity is essential for maintaining
your pairs.
• Each operation requires a specific status or statuses. Before performing a pair operation,
check the pair’s status.
• Pair status changes when an operation is performed. Check status to make sure that pairs are
operating correctly and that data is updated from P-VOLs to S-VOLs, and that differential data
is managed appropriately.
Frequent monitoring of the system is optional but recommended. You can set up automatic e-mail
notification from the RWC for problems found during monitoring.
