You use the Config and Run page to configure LVs. Perform the following activities to configure LVs:
-
To select individual LVs, use the check box next to the LV, to select the LVs that will be protected by Assure MIMIX for AIX.
-
Click the Select all LVs button to select all LVs.
-
Click the Run Disk Discovery Again button to re-discover the LVs.
The table below describes the parameters that you can modify:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Collection Interval Count |
Specifies how many times you want to collect data. The default value is 24 hours. |
|
Collection Interval Minutes |
Specifies how many minutes to wait between each data collection interval. The default value is 60 minutes. |
|
Lfc Size (MB) |
Specifies the size for the Assure MIMIX for AIX LFC. The default value is 16 MB. |
|
Replication Outage Hours |
Specifies the hours that the production server can not send LFCs to the recovery server. When this occurs, the LFCs will begin to backup on the production sever, until there are no more LFCs available. Once Assure MIMIX for AIX runs out of LFCs, it marks the regions which require synchronization in the state map as dirty. These dirty regions will automatically be synchronized when the LFCs become available. CDP functionality will resume as soon as the resynchronization completes. More LFCs are required as outage time increases. The default value is 8 hours. |
|
CDP Window Hours |
Specifies how many hours the data can go back in time to restore data from the recovery server to the production server. The window size determines the number of LFCs on the recovery server. The default value is 8 hours. |
|
Snapshot Duration Hours |
Specifies the number of hours you want to keep a snapshot valid. As the snapshot duration hours increase you need to increase the Write Journals disk space. The default value is 8 hours. |
