as modified, so that the MCU will perform the equivalent of an entire initial copy operation when
the pairs are resynchronized.

If you select a pair from the volume list and change the settings, and if you use a drop-down list
to set blank to a parameter, the parameter takes the default value for each pair. If you select the
settings from the preview list before applying the changed settings, and if you use a drop-down
list to set blank to a parameter in the Pairresync dialog box, the parameter value in the preview
list will not be changed.

To resync one or more split or suspended XP Continuous Access pairs:

1.

If any pair was suspended due to an error condition (use the Detailed Information dialog box
to view the suspend type), make sure that the error condition has been removed (see

“General

Troubleshooting” (page 152)

for troubleshooting information). The MCU will not resync the

pair(s) until the error condition has been removed.

2.

Connect to the MCU of the pair(s) to be resynchronized, open the XP Continuous Access main
window, and click the Pair Operation tab.

3.

In the tree, select a port, host group, desired CU, or upper CU grouping. Use the Display Filter
as needed to display the desired pairs (for example, select Async and PSUS status only) (see

“Display Filter” (page 67)

).

4.

In the list, select the P-VOL(s) of the pair(s) to be resynchronized.

Select either Sync or Async pairs (not both). Select either PSUS or PSUE pairs (not both) (or
PDUB pairs, see note below). To use the Group Resume Range option, select only one XP
Continuous Access Asynchronous pair in the group.

You can use pairresync to change LUSE pairs from PDUB status to PAIR status.

5.

Right-click, and click Pairresync to open the Pairresync dialog box (see

Figure 53 (page 135)

).

6.

On the Pairresync dialog box, select the desired pairresync options, and click Set to close the
Pairresync dialog box. The preview list displays the requested pairresync operation(s).

To resync all split/suspended pairs in a consistency group, select the Group from Resume
Range option on the Pairresync dialog box.

7.

Verify the requested operation(s) in the preview list. Make sure that the pairresync options for
each pair are correct.

To change one or more operations, select the operation(s) from the preview list, right-click,
and click Modify. To remove one or more operations, select the operation(s) from the preview
list, right-click, and click Delete. To cancel all operations, select all the operations in the preview
list, right-click, and click the Delete command, or click the Cancel button.

8.

To start the operation(s), click the Apply button.

If one or more operation(s) did not start normally, the preview list displays only the operation(s)
that did not start normally. An error code is displayed on the Error Code column in the preview
list. To display an error message, select one LU, right-click, and click Error Detail. After you
see the error message, click OK button to close the error message.

9.

On the Pair Operation window, verify that the pairresync operation(s) completed successfully
(PAIR status in the list). To monitor the progress of the pairresync operation(s), click File, and
then click Refresh on the menu bar of the Remote Web Console main window to update the
information in the list, or use the Detailed Information dialog box (see

“Viewing XP Continuous

Access Pair Status” (page 127)

) to monitor the detailed status of each pair.

If an error occurs, you can display the error message by right-clicking on the operation and
clicking the Error Detail command.

Releasing XP Continuous Access Pairs

An XP Continuous Access pair should be released from the MCU only when it is no longer necessary
to maintain a remote copy of the P-VOL. When an XP Continuous Access pair is released from the
