An Assure MIMIX for AIX File Container is a generic term used to describe the storage
object that the Assure MIMIX for AIX Context needs to function correctly. While there
are different specialized types of File Containers, the most commonly discussed and most
necessary to understand is the Log File Container (LFC). A LFC is the logical unit of
data movement around the system. When an LFC is filled with data writes on the
production server it is fully transferred to the recovery server. Once transferred, it
is processed and applied to the data replica. You can also send partially filled
containers. The Send partially filled containers automatically option enables you
to control the frequency of shipping containers (LFCs) to the recovery server during low
I/O periods. The Send partially filled containers automatically option can be
managed in two ways:
Use the Replication Group Configuration Wizard. Refer to the New Replication Group Container Options panel, and the field, Send partially filled containers automatically.
Use the command line using the scconfig command. Refer to scconfig .
