Create a journal used by a UR pair at the target UR sites.

Run the following command on the server connected to the target UR primary storage system.
1. Create a journal by specifying the volume whose LDEV ID is 0x8883 to create a journal whose journal ID is 0.
```
raidcom add journal -journal_id 0 -ldev_id 0x8883 -IH3
```
2. Confirm that the asynchronous command processing ended normally.
```
raidcom get command_status -IH3
HANDLE  SSB1   SSB2  ERR_CNT  Serial#  Description
00c3    -       -      0         833333   -
```

Run the following command on the server connected to the target UR primary storage system to display the journal settings on the UR primary storage system.

raidcom get journal -IH3
JID MU CTG  JNLS  AP  U(%)   Q-Marker   Q-CNT  D-SZ(BLK)   Seq# Num LDEV#
000  -   -  SMPL   -    -           -       -   62914560  833333   1  34947

Confirm that the volume (LDEV ID: 0x8883) is registered to the journal (journal ID: 0), and then check the journal capacity.
