off the array.

If data volume pairs are split and the primary array is powered off as mentioned above, use the following

procedure to resume remote copy operations:

1.

2.

If the primary array is ready to resume remote copy operations, restore data volume pairs that were

split, and confirm that the status of the data volume pairs is COPY or PAIR. This operation must be
