Table 8 TrueCopy for Mainframe Pair Status (continued)
Description Pair Status
This pair is synchronized. Updates to the M-VOL are
duplicated on the R-VOL. Duplex
This pair is not synchronized:
• For TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous only, if the
MCU cannot keep the pair synchronized for any reason,
the MCU changes the status of the M-VOL and R-VOL
(if possible) to suspended.
For TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous only, if the
MCU detects a TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous
suspension condition, the MCU changes the M-VOL
status and R-VOL status (if possible) to suspended.
•
For TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous only, when
the RCU detects a TrueCopy for Mainframe
Asynchronous suspension condition, the RCU changes
the R-VOL status to suspended.
•
For TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous only, the
MCU changes the status of all TrueCopy for Mainframe
Synchronous pairs to suspended when it performs the
CGROUP/FREEZE command.
•
When you suspend a pair from the MCU, the MCU
changes the status of the M-VOL and R-VOL (if possible)
to suspended. When you suspend a pair from the RCU,
the RCU changes the status of the R-VOL to suspended.
•
When the MCU detects that the pair was suspended or
released from the RCU, the MCU changes the status of
the M-VOL to suspended.
Suspended
(see “Suspend Types” (page 36) for suspend types)
Pair Status for TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous only:
This pair is not synchronized. This pair is in transition from
duplex or pending duplex to suspended. When the
suspension is requested (by user, MCU, or RCU), the status
of all affected pairs changes to suspending. When the
suspension is complete, the status changes to suspended. Suspending
This pair is not synchronized. This pair is in transition from
duplex, pending duplex, or suspended to simplex. When
the release pair operation is requested (by user), the status
of all affected pairs changes to deleting. When the release
pair operation is complete, the status changes to simplex. Deleting
The RCU encountered a non-time stamped recordset for a
TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous pair using the
System timer type option. This status can be displayed at
the MCU and RCU, but the MCU may not have the most
current information. Always use the pair status information
displayed at the RCU for disaster recovery. SEQCHK
Suspended Pairs
“Suspend Types” (page 36) lists and describes the TrueCopy for Mainframe suspend types, which
indicate the reason for suspension. A TrueCopy for Mainframe pair can be suspended by the user
at any time after the initial copy operation is complete. The user must suspend a TrueCopy for
Mainframe pair in order to perform ICKDSF maintenance on the M-VOL or to access the R-VOL
(read only mode). TrueCopy for Mainframe pairs are also suspended when the CGROUP/ FREEZE
command is processed. When a TrueCopy for Mainframe Synchronous pair is suspended by the
user, the MCU ensures synchronization by completing any pending update copy operation before
changing the status to suspended. When a TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous pair is suspended
