Business Copy XP (BC) for the XP10000/XP12000

NOTE:

The P-VOL remains read-enabled during the reverse pairresync operation only to enable the

host to recognize the volume. Data on the P-VOL is not guaranteed until the reverse pairresync

operation is complete and the status changes to PAIR.

Quick Restore. This operation (

Figure 5

) speeds up reverse resync by changing the volume map in the

disk array to swap the contents of the P-VOL and S-VOL without copying the S-VOL data to the P-VOL.

The P-VOL and S-VOL are resynchronized when update copy operations are performed for pairs in PAIR

status. The pair status during a quick restore operation is COPY(RS-R) until the volume map change is

complete. The P-VOL and S-VOL become inaccessible to all hosts for write operations during a quick

restore operation. Quick restore cannot be performed on L2 cascade pairs.

Table 9

shows the

requirements for reverse and quick restore pairresync operations. If you perform these operations on

pairs that do not meet the requirements, the reverse copy or quick restore command is rejected.

and the status changes to PAIR.

NOTE:

When a quick restore operation is in progress, the array management user interface may display

old configuration information. To update the information in the user interface, wait for the quick restore

operation to finish, and click Refresh.
