TIP:

The operation that can be selected is determined based on the copy directions of the definition and
entity and on the pair status. The Resync option or the Restore option is displayed for pair operations
depending on whether the FORWARD or REVERSE option is specified when the SUSPEND status is
set. For Business Copy copy type, this check is not performed and you can select both the Resync and
Restore options. For pairs in the Split (HOLD) and Split (NODELTA) statuses, specifying the Resync
option disables the Force option. For pairs in the Split (HOLD) and Split (NODELTA) statuses, the
Resync option is available only for operations on copy groups. If any of the pairs are in the Split
(SWAPPING) status, the Delete option is unavailable.

The following table shows the correspondence between copy directions of the pair definition and
entity and permitted pair operations for various pair statuses:

one pair is operable.
