Repository volumes:
A special volume that is dedicated on the SAN-attached storage for each RPA cluster to store configuration information about the RPAs and consistency groups, enabling a properly functioning RPA to seamlessly assume the replication activities of a failing RPA from the same RPA cluster.
Journal Volumes
Each copy of a consistency group must contain one or more volumes that are dedicated to holding system information or point in time history. The type of information contained in the journal differs according to the journal type.
There are two types of journals, the:
Replication Volumes
Data volumes to be replicated which is SAN-attached storage volumes at the primary and secondary site.

Configuration and Size consideration:
In deploying a RecoverPoint environment, the RPA Repository and journals must be configured. The size limits are listed.
Repository Volume
This volume must be seen only by the appliances on the same site as this volume. It should be 3 GB; capacity beyond 3 GB is not used.
Journal Volumes
There is at least one Journal volume on each site per consistency group. These volumes should only be seen by the appliances. The minimum size for a group’s journal at each copy is 5 GB.
Replication Volumes
Target volumes must be the same size (or larger) than the source volumes. Any excess size (above the source site’s size) are not replicated or visible to the host. The reason for saying ―larger‖ is to guarantee that the target site volumes are not accidentally configured smaller by accident. This is typically the case in heterogeneous storage environments or even with similar storages using different versions of management software. These volumes must be seen by the appropriate host servers and the appliances on the same site as the volumes.
