more information, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP User Guide for XP Disk Arrays or the

HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console User Guide for XP12000/XP10000.

page 105).

3.

In the tree, select Subsystem or a port.

In the list, select and right-click the pair you want to split. The pair status must be COPY or PAIR.

5.

Select Pairsplit-r. The Pairsplit-r pane appears.

6.

In the Pairsplit-r pane, select the desired pairsplit options for the pairs.

7.

Click Set to close the Pairsplit-r pane.

8.

In the Preset list in the Pair Operation pane, check the settings you made.
• To modify a setting, select and right-click the setting, and select Modify.
