When the database team’s write activity is expected to exceed the space allocated for Image Access mode in RecoverPoint, additional Journal volumes need to be added to accommodate the increased write activity. This can be done through the Unisphere for RecoverPoint interface:

Navigate to Protection: Access the Protection menu in the Unisphere for RecoverPoint.

Manage Protection: Go to the Manage Protection section.

Select the Consistency Group (CG): Choose the appropriate CG from the list.

Select the Copy: Click on the copy that is being used for the Point-in-Time (PIT) testing.

Edit Journal: Click on the Edit Journal option.

Add Journal Volumes: Add one or more additional Journal volumes to ensure there is enough space for the write activity during the testing periD.

By adding additional Journal volumes, the database team can continue their testing without disruption due to space limitations in the Image Access mode1.
