This option is used to prevent Read JNL or JNL Restore
when the Write Pending rate on RCU exceeds 60% as
follows:- When CLPR of JNL-Volume exceeds 60%, Read
JNL is prevented.- When CLPR of Data (secondary)-
Volume exceeds 60%, JNL Restore is prevented.Mode 690
= ON:Read JNL or JNL Restore is prevented when the
Write Pending rate on RCU exceeds 60%.Mode 690 = OFF
(default):Read JNL or JNL Restore is not prevented when
the Write Pending rate on RCU exceeds 60% (the same as
before).Note: 1. This mode can be set online.2. This mode

Pending status long keeps 60% or more on RCU, it takes
extra time for the initial copy to be completed by making
up for the prevented copy operation.4. If the Write
Pending status long keeps 60% or more on RCU, the pair
status may become Suspend due to the JNL-Vol being full.
