For UR/URz operations it is strongly recommended
that the path between main and remote storage
systems have a minimum data transfer speed of
100 Mbps. If the data transfer speed falls to 10
Mbps or lower, UR operations cannot be properly
processed. As a result, many retries occur and UR
pairs may be suspended. Mode 466 is provided to
ensure proper system operation for data transfer
speeds of at least 10 Mbps.
Mode 466 = ON: Data transfer speeds of 10 Mbps
and higher are supported. The JNL read is
performed with 4-multiplexed read size of 256 KB.
Mode 466 = OFF: For conventional operations.
Data transfer speeds of 100 Mbps and higher are
supported. The JNL read is performed with 32-
multiplexed read size of 1 MB by default.
Note: The data transfer speed can be changed
using the Change JNL Group options.

For the following features, the current copy
processing slows down when the percentage of
“dirty” data is 60% or higher, and it stops when the
percentage is 75% or higher. Mode 467 is provided
to prevent the percentage from exceeding 60%, so
that the host performance is not affected.

Mode 467 = ON: Copy overload prevention. Copy
processing stops when the percentage of “dirty”
data reaches 60% or higher. When the percentage
falls below 60%, copy processing restarts.
Mode 467 = OFF: Normal operation. The copy
processing slows down if the dirty percentage is
60% or larger, and it stops if the dirty percentage is
75% or larger.
Caution: This mode must always be set to ON when
using an external volume as the secondary volume
of any of the above-mentioned replication products.
Note: It takes longer to finish the copy processing
because it stops for prioritizing the host I/O
performance.
