Continuous Access XP Journal pair status
The Continuous Access XP Journal Suspending and Deleting transitional states occur when a request
to change the Continuous Access XP Journal pair status is accepted, but the requested status change
(PSUS, PSUE, or SMPL) is not complete yet. These states are not reported to the host. For Suspending,
either you or the primary array can request the status change. For Deleting, only you can request
the status change. If you requested the status change, the final status is reported at the end of the
transition. If an error caused the status to change to PSUE, the suspended status is reported at the
beginning of the transition.
After an array receives a request to split or delete a pair in Flush mode, the status of the pair remains
in the Suspending or Deleting state until the journal in the master journal group is restored to the
restore journal group and the pair is completely split or deleted. To calculate the time during which
the pair remains in the Suspending or Deleting state, use the following equation:
C × (u ч 100) Ч 1,024 ч V
where:
• C is the master journal volume's total capacity (in megabytes).
• u is the master journal volume's data usage rate (as a percentage).
• V is the data transfer speed between the primary and secondary arrays. The unit is MB/s
(megabytes per second).
To find a journal volume's usage rate, use the monitoring feature (see
