Advanced Journal Settings Dialog (vCD)
Used in vCD environments only.
Manage the journal used for recovery in a vCD environment.
Journal History – The time that all write commands are saved in the journal. The longer history is saved, the more space is required for each journal in the VPG. You can select the number of hours from 1 to 24 or the number of days from 2 to 14.
Journal Size Hard Limit – The maximum size that the journal can grow, either as a percentage or a fixed amount. The minimum journal size, set by Zerto Virtual Replication, is 8GB. The journal is always thin-provisioned.
Unlimited – The size of the journal is unlimited and it can grow to the size of the recovery datastore.
Size (GB) – The maximum journal size in GB.
Percentage – The percentage of the virtual machine volume size the journal can grow to.
Journal Size Warning Threshold – The size of the journal that triggers a warning that the journal is nearing its hard limit.
Unlimited – The size of the journal is unlimited and it can grow to the size of the recovery datastore.
Size (GB) – The size in GB that will generate a warning.
Percentage – The percentage of the virtual machine volume size that will generate a warning.
Both the value of Size and Percentage must be less than the configured hard limit so that the warning will be generated when needed. In addition to the warning threshold, Zerto Virtual Replication will issue a message when the free space available for the journal is almost full.
