Detected Pair List

Detected Pairs is displayed only when an alert is generated for a copy group and the alert automarking
feature is enabled (Marking Type: Auto is displayed in the Alert List tab of the Alerts subwindow). The
format is as follows:

pair-name[Primary-LDEV(Primary-Storage-System)-Secondary-LDEV(Secondary-Storage-System)]

For example:

Copy Pair1[01:01([email protected])-02:01([email protected])]

For mainframe pairs, the

pair-name

is omitted.

To limit the volume of information when an enormous number of pairs is involved, the display is limited
to ten pairs along with the following message:

More than 10 pairs were detected.
