If you are using TC390 Async in the n-to-1 configuration, reset the Time Out (Copy Pending) option as
follows to avoid suspension of TC390 pairs due to timeout errors:
a. Suspend all pairs in the group so that you can change the group options.
b. Select the group on the Main window, select Group Option, change the Time Out (Copy Pending)
option to None, and select OK.
c. Resume all pairs in the group, and then perform your normal TC390 Async operations.
d. Acquire the current TC390 async copy delay time by calculating the difference between the host
I/O time-stamp information and the consistency time shown on the CT Group Status window.
e. Suspend all pairs in the group again and set the Time Out (Copy Pending) group option to a value
greater than the current copy delay time. If the value exceeds the maximum time (15 min.), reduce
the host I/O rate, or set the option to None.
f. Resume all pairs in the group.
