There are the following cases:

If you try to resynchronize a pair in duplex or resync status by copying data from the S-VOL to the T-VOL using PPRC
TSO command, the processing ends normally. However, since actually no resynchronize processing is performed,
the pair status does not change.

If you use ICKDSF PPRCOPY command, the command abnormally ends by reporting CC = 12.

If you use XP for Business Continuity Manager Software™, the processing ends normally. However, since no

resynchronize processing is performed as in case 1, the pair status does not change. For further information about

how to use XP for Business Continuity Manager Software™, see the HP XP for XP for Business Continuity Manager

Software™ Software User's Guide.

NOTE:

Available option types depend on the storage system settings.

Swap&Freeze Option

The Swap&Freeze option allows the S-VOLs of an SIz pair to remain unchanged after the quick
restore operation. If the quick restore operation is performed on an SIz pair with the Swap&Freeze
option, update copy operations are suppressed, and thus are not performed for pairs in the duplex
status after the quick restore operation. If the quick restore operation is performed without the
Swap&Freeze option, the S-VOL and T-VOL are resynchronized when update copy operations are
performed for pairs in the Duplex status.

Make sure that the Swap&Freeze option remains in effect until the pair status becomes Duplex after
the quick restore operation.

Figure 9 (page 25)

shows the state of the T-VOL after the quick restore operation with or without

the Swap&Freeze option.
