HP XP P9000 Continuous Access Journal
User Guide
Abstract
This guide explains how to use HP XP P9000 Continuous Access Journal Software to replicate data between local and remote
HP XP P9000 disk arrays and to achieve disaster tolerance with maximum application performance. Topics include setting up
remote copy connections, configuring the storage system, creating and monitoring remote copies, recovering from a disaster,
and troubleshooting. The intended audience is a storage system administrator or authorized service provider with independent
knowledge of HP XP P9000 disk arrays and the HP Remote Web Console.
