Yes, they do use journals as well, but they will only use them if needed. To setup HUR you will need two HDS enterprise class arrays (VSP, USPV's) and dedicated parity groups for journals. I strongly recommend that ...

In this post we will be talking about creating a replication pair for the HUR (Hitachi Universal Replicator) Once HUR is configured and both arrays have luns defined in Journal Volumes, you can go ahead and create a replication pair. You have to know that a lun has to be assigned to a port (see here) before it can take ...

The difference is that Storage Navigator is the software that comes with enterprise class arrays (VSP, USP, etc) while Storage Navigator 2 is the software that comes with modular class arrays ...
