<h1 class="topictitle1">Requirements for geographic mirroring</h1>
<div><ul><li>Geographic mirroring increases CPU load, so there must be
sufficient excess CPU capacity. Add processors as needed to increase CPU capacity.</li>
<li>For optimal performance for geographic mirroring, particularly
during synchronization, increase your machine pool size by the amount given
by the following formula: <p>The amount of extra machine pool storage is:
271.5 MB + .2MB * Number of disk units in independent ASPs. </p>
<div class="p">The extra
machine pool storage is required on the target node. However, because the
target node changes when doing switchovers and failovers, you should increase
the machine pool on all nodes in the Cluster Resource Group. To prevent the
performance adjuster from reducing the machine pool size, you should do one
of the following:<ol><li>Set the machine pool minimum size to the calculated amount (the current
size plus the extra size for geographic mirroring from the formula) using <a href="../cl/wrkshrpool.htm">Work with Shared Storage Pools (WRKSHRPOOL)
command</a> or <a href="../cl/chgshrpool.htm">Change Shared
Storage Pool (CHGSHRPOOL) command</a>.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> It is recommended
to use this option with the Work with Shared Storage Pools (WRKSHRPOOL) option.</div>
</li>
<li>Set QPFRADJ to zero which prohibits the performance adjuster from changing
size of the machine pool.</li>
</ol>
</div>
</li>
<li>Configure a separate storage pool for the jobs using geographic mirrored
independent disk pools, especially if you specify a long recovery timeout.</li>
<li>Geographic mirroring is performed when
the disk pool is available. When geographic mirroring is being performed,
the system value for the time of day (<a href="../rzakz/rzakzqtime.htm">QTIME</a>) should not be changed.</li>
<li>Communications requirements for independent disk pools are particularly
critical as they affect throughput. See <a href="rzalycommunications.htm">Communications requirements</a> for more information.</li>
<li>All independent disk pool requirements
must be met. See <a href="rzalyplan.htm">Plan for independent disk pools</a> for
more information.</li>
