Modify REC Buffer

This function sets parameters of the REC Buffer for copying data via the REC in Consistency mode.
The "Consistency mode" secures the order of data transfer to the remote device for all of the specified REC
sessions. This mode requires constant securement of the dedicated REC Buffer in the cache memory. Copying
via REC Buffer stores multiple REC session I/Os in the REC Buffer for a certain period of time, and copies in
blocks.

• Registering the license for the Advanced Copy function is required to set the REC Buffer.
• This function can only be used when the local storage system (the storage system that creates REC
Buffers) supports REC.
• Perform REC Buffer settings in both the REC copy source and destination storage systems.
• When changing REC Buffers, suspend the sessions using the target REC Buffers.
• When deleting REC Buffers, stop the sessions using the target REC Buffers.
• This function cannot be used when the remote device and/or copy path have not been configured.
• Cache memory is not only used for REC Buffers, but also used for the copy table. Note that the REC Buffer
with the maximum size for each model cannot be created depending on the memory capacity in the
ETERNUS DX and the copy table size.
• Because REC Buffers are duplicated between the CMs, the actual memory capacity is twice as large as the
selected REC Buffer capacity.
