HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 206)

The copy pair status can be displayed at various levels: for example, for an individual copy group,
or for the type of volume replication functionality (the copy type). The status of the copy pair within
that grouping that has the most serious (highest priority) status is referred to as the summary pair
status.
The priority of copy pair statuses, starting from the most serious, is as follows:
1. error
2. suspend
3. copying
4. sync
5. simplex
6. unknown
By looking at the most significant copy pair status, you can identify which problems should be resolved
first.
