The RCU accepts only the one specific recordset that will enable it to settle the pending recordsets in

the queue(s). For all other recordsets the RCU responds to the MCU with the channel-command-retry

request.

NOTE:

If one or more consistency groups exist (TC390 or CA), this setting cannot be changed. This

setting can be changed only when no consistency groups are assigned.

Use the Offloading Timer (min.) box to specify the amount of time, 0-20 minutes that the MCU will wait to

send a TC390A recordset to the RCU. The MCU will suspend all affected TC390A volume pairs if it has not

been able to offload a recordset to the RCU within the specified time (for example, the RCU is still

responding channel-command-retry).
Use the PPRC TSO Command option to select the XP256-compatible format for PPRC TSO commands (see

Using PPRC Commands for TrueCopy

” on page 147). This option should be selected only if you are using

XP256 as RCUs connected to this XP128/XP1024/XP10000/XP12000. The XP256 format limits PPRC

operations to sixteen consistency groups (0-F). The disk array-compatible format (default) performs PPRC

operations for all 128 consistency groups (00-7F) of the XP128/XP1024/XP10000/XP12000.

To set the asynchronous option parameters:

1.

From the Consistency Group list, right-click to display the pop-up menu and click the Async Operation

command. The Async Option window is displayed.

NOTE:

You do not have to select a consistency group on the list.

2.

From the Async Option window, select the appropriate parameters.

3.

Click Set to set the parameters. The list changes to the Asynchronous Option Settings Parameter list.

NOTE:

The options can be modified and/or canceled after you have set them. See ”

Click Apply on the TrueCopy main window to apply the option settings to the disk array.

Modifying Parameters and Omitting Consistency Groups

After the Consistency Group (CT Group) and/or Asynchronous Option operation, the parameters can be

modified individually. Also the consistency groups that you have set by the operation can be omitted.

To modify the parameters:

1.

After you have performed the CT Group Operation, select a consistency group whose parameters you

want to modify on the list. To modify the parameters for Async Option operation, you do not have to

select the row on the list.

2.

Right-click to display the pop-up menu and click Modify to modify the parameters. A window for each

operation is displayed.

3.

Modify the parameters as needed and click Set.

4.

Click Apply on the TrueCopy main window.

To omit the consistency groups: from the operation

1.

Select the consistency groups to be omitted from the operation on the list.

2.

Right-click to display the pop-up menu and click Omit. The Consistency Groups selected in

step 1

are

deleted from the list and the deleted Consistency Groups have been removed from the operations.

3.

Click Apply on the TrueCopy main window to apply the deletion to the disk array.

For the CT Group Operation, the Cancel All command deletes all the consistency groups on the list and all

the consistency groups have been removed from the operations. All the consistency groups can also be

deleted using the Omit command by selecting all of the consistency groups on the list. When all the
