Splitting pairs with CSUSPEND and PPRCOPY SUSPEND

The P-VOL and its associated S-VOLs for pairs in “DUPLEX” status are typically not identical since
update copy operations are asynchronous.
Splitting the pair allows the host access to the S-VOL. If the pair is not split (“Split/SUSPOP” status),
the host can access the non-reserved S-VOL. You cannot access reserved volumes that are unpaired.
Prerequisite: The volumes must be paired or you have performed Quick Resync on the pair (“DUPLEX”
status).
