About copy pair status

Copy pair status is a value that indicates the status of a copy pair, as defined by Replication Manager.
To view a list of copy pair statuses, see “

Copy pair status categories

” on page 212.

The copy pair statuses displayed are determined by the combination of the copy pair states of the
primary and secondary volumes. Although two copy pairs might have the same copy pair status, the
combination of copy pair states of their primary and secondary volumes might differ. For details on
copy pair statuses and combinations of copy pair states for primary and secondary volumes, see

Conditions for determining copy pair status

” on page 212.

The copy pair status can be displayed at various levels: for example, for an individual copy group,
or for the type of volume replication functionality (the copy type). The status of the copy pair within
that grouping that has the most serious (highest priority) status is referred to as the summary pair
status
.

The priority of copy pair statuses, starting from the most serious, is as follows:

1.

error

2.

suspend

3.

copying

4.

sync

5.

simplex

6.

unknown

By looking at the most significant copy pair status, you can identify which problems should be resolved
first.
