Assure MIMIX for AIX

Assure MIMIX for AIX uses Log File Containers (LFC) to transfer data from the production Server to recovery server. Before you install Assure MIMIX for AIX, you need to define the number of LFCs for the production and recovery servers. On the recovery server, you must also define the Write Journal (WJ) disk space percentage.

You can use the Sizing Tool to calculate configuration values before Assure MIMIX for AIX is installed. It is also useful to run the tool after Assure MIMIX for AIX is installed to determine if the number of LFCs or WJ percentage needs to be adjusted.
