The pair is in the process of being
Quick Split. The differential data is

P-VOL = “PPRI-PNDG”

S-VOL = Unpaired

The pair has been split. The XP7
storage system stops performing update
copy operations from the P-VOL to the

Split/SUSPOP

S-VOL. Write I/Os are accepted for
S-VOL. The XP7 storage system keeps
track of updates to split P-VOL and
S-VOL so that you can Quick Resync.

P-VOL = “PPRI-PNDG”

S-VOL = “PSEC-PNDG”

The XP7 storage system does the
following:

Suspend/SUSPER

Suspends the pair.

Continues accepting read and write
I/Os to the P-VOL.

Stops update copy operations to the
S-VOL.

Marks the P-VOL as differential
data. Resynchronizing a pair copies
the P-VOL to the S-VOL.

The status of other pairs sharing the
same P-VOL does not change.

Data consistency is not ensured in this
status.

For more information about ensuring
data consistency, see

“Workflow for

ensuring data consistency” (page 49)

.

* Starting time of the copy depends on the numbers of pairs and the system environment.

CAUTION:

Running the DEVSERVE command to a read/write disabled volume returns the

“INTERVENTION REQUIRED” message. To return a normal value, create the pairs with the volumes
online before running the command.
