describes the host pair status reporting for XP Continuous Access Journal
volumes, XP Business Copy volumes, and XP Continuous Access Journal/XP Business Copy shared
volumes.
shows the currency of the data on a shared XP Continuous Access
Journal/XP Business Copy volume based on the XP Continuous Access Journal and XP Business
Copy pair status.
•
For shared XP Continuous Access Journal/XP Business Copy volumes, the XP Continuous Access
Journal pair status is reported to the host if you query the XP Continuous Access Journal primary
data volume or secondary data volume. To obtain the XP Business Copy pair status, query
the P-VOL of the XP Business Copy pair.
•
XP Business Copy supports multiple S-VOLs for each P-VOL. If you issue a pair status query
for an XP Business Copy P-VOL (for example, pairdisplay), the status for only one XP Business
Copy pair is reported (the pair with the S-VOL with the lowest LDEV ID). To obtain the pair
status for XP Business Copy pair(s) with the other S-VOL(s), you must direct the host query to
the specific S-VOL using the S-VOLs LDEV ID in the host command. The XP Business Copy
remote console software shows the port, GID, LUN, LDEV ID, and XP Business Copy pair status
for all S-VOLs associated with a P-VOL.

XP Continuous Access Journal/XP Business Copy configurations which share the XP Continuous

shows an example of an XP Continuous Access Journal primary data
volume that is also functioning as an XP Business Copy P-VOL. This configuration allows you
to use XP Business Copy for on-site data backup in case of an XP Continuous Access Journal
failure, and to use XP Continuous Access Journal to provide a remote backup of the XP Business
Copy P-VOL in case of an XP Business Copy failure.
