Business Copy XP (BC) for the XP10000/XP12000

Use the Copy Pace list to select the copy pace (Slower, Medium, or Faster) for all pairs being

resynchronized.

The OK button adds the operation setting displayed in the Pairresync Volume List for resynchronizing

the specified pairs to the Preset List on the BC main screen.

NOTE:

You must click Apply on the BC main pane to start the pairresync operation for the

specified pairs.

The Cancel button cancels operations set in the Pairresync window and closes the Pairsplit window.

To remove any volumes from the Pairresync Volume List, right-click the selected volumes, and click

Delete.

Resynchronizing one or more BC pairs

1.

Unmount the split (PSUS) S-VOLs before starting the pairresync operations. When the pairresync

operation starts, the disk array stops accepting write I/Os to the S-VOL.

2.

In the BC main screen, select the port, host group, or P-VOL in the Tree View box to filter the volumes

displayed in the Volume list.

3.

In the BC main screen, select the pairs to resync, right-click the selected pairs, and select Pairresync.

The Pairresync window appears.

4.

In the Pairresync window, select the pairs, and set the copy pace (Slower, Medium, or Faster) and

resync type (Normal Copy, Quick Resync, Reverse Copy, or Quick Restore) for each pair. Reverse and

quick restore pairresync cannot be performed on suspended pairs (PSUE) or L2 cascade pairs.

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.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the correct resync direction (normal/quick, or reverse/quick restore) is

selected.

CAUTION:

During the quick restore operation, the RAID levels, HDD types, and Cache LUN

settings are swapped. To avoid performance impact due to quick restore operations:
• Ensure that the P-VOL and S-VOL have the same RAID level and HDD type before performing the

quick restore operation. To restore the original RAID levels after quick restore, stop host I/Os to

the pair, split the pair, perform the quick restore operation for that pair again, and restart host

I/Os to the pair.

• Because the Cache LUN settings are exchanged during a quick restore operation, you must

perform one of the following operations. If you do not, the change of location of the cache

residence areas may cause I/O performance to the Cache LUN data to be down.

– Set the same Cache LUN settings (locations) for the P-VOL and S-VOL before performing the

quick restore operation.

– Release the Cache LUN settings of the P-VOL and S-VOL before the quick restore operation,

and reset the Cache LUN settings of the P-VOL and S-VOL after the pair changes to PAIR status

as a result of the quick restore operation.

If you do not want to resynchronize the P-VOL and S-VOL after the quick restore operation, set the

Swap&Freeze option before performing the quick restore operation.
