In order to automatically provision Journal volumes, what does RecoverPoint require when this feature is used?

When using the automatic journal provisioning feature in RecoverPoint, the system requires

dedicated resource pools to be set up. These resource pools are predefined storage resources that

RecoverPoint can utilize to automatically create and allocate Journal volumes as needed when

adding a Consistency Group1.

The process for setting up automatic journal provisioning typically involves:

Creating Resource Pools: The administrator defines resource pools within the storage array,

dedicating specific storage resources for RecoverPoint’s use.

Configuring RecoverPoint: Within the RecoverPoint configuration, the administrator specifies that

these resource pools are to be used for automatic journal provisioning.

Adding a Consistency Group: When a new Consistency Group is added, RecoverPoint automatically

provisions Journal volumes from the dedicated resource pools without manual intervention by the

administrator.

Monitoring and Managing Journals: The administrator can monitor the automatically provisioned

Journals and manage them as necessary through the RecoverPoint management interface.

This feature streamlines the process of setting up and managing Journal volumes, making it more

efficient and less prone to human error1.
