Editing copy groups by setting copy type
In open systems, you can specify the copy type for copy groups in simplex (SMPL) status. Copy groups
are in simplex status when a configuration definition file is already defined on the host but a pair
does not exist in the storage. The copy type and copy direction are therefore unknown for such copy
groups. To create a pair with the Pair Configuration Wizard using a pre-existing configuration definition
file, it is necessary to assign a copy type.
To specify a copy type for a copy group:
1.
In the hosts view or pair configurations view, display information about the copy group for which
you want to edit the copy type.
For details on displaying copy group information, see the following:
•
Viewing copy group information in the Hosts view (open systems)
•
Viewing copy group information in the Pair Configurations view (open systems)
2.
Select a copy group with pairs in simplex status.
3.
Click Pair Management to launch the Pair Configuration Wizard.
4.
Navigate to the 2. Pair Association page.
5.
In the Copy Topology pane, click the copy type link (with copy type value "Unknown").
The Edit Copy Group window is displayed.
