operation is complete, the pair status changes to PSUS to enable you to access the split
S-VOL. The update copy operation is not performed on the pairs that have status PSUS.

pair (pairsplit-E), the pair status changes to PSUE.

5.

When you start a pairresync operation, the pair status changes to COPY(RS) or COPY(RS-R).
When the pairresync operation is complete, the pair status changes to PAIR.

When you specify Reverse Copy or Quick Restore mode for a pairresync operation, the
pair status changes to COPY(RS-R).

When you delete a pair (pairsplit-S), the status of the volumes that were used by the pair
changes to SMPL. You cannot delete the pair that has status PSUS(SP).

When you specify Reverse Copy or Quick Restore mode for a pairresync operation, the
pair status changes to COPY(RS-R).

When you delete a pair (pairsplit-S), the status of the volumes that were used by the pair

Description

Pair Status

SMPL

N/A (there is no S-VOL yet).

The volume is not assigned to an XP
Business Copy pair. The storage system

SMPL

accepts read and write I/Os for all SMPL
volumes that are not reserved.

COPY

Read only.

The paircreate operation has been
accepted normally. The initial copy will be

COPY(PD)

performed.

1

The storage system continues

to accept read and write operations for the
P-VOL, but stops accepting write operations
for the S-VOL. No update copy operations
are performed.

PAIR

Read only.

The initial copy operation is complete, and
the storage system starts performing

PAIR

asynchronous update copy operations from
the P-VOL to the S-VOL as needed. The
P-VOL and S-VOL of a duplex pair (PAIR
status) may not be identical.

COPY

Read only.

The pairsplit operation in the steady split
mode has been accepted normally. The

COPY(SP)

split operation triggers a copy operation.

1

All P-VOL updates prior to the pairsplit
command are being copied to the S-VOL.
When these updates are complete, the split
S-VOL is identical to the state of the P-VOL
when the split started.

COPY

Read and write. The S-VOL
can be mounted.

The pairsplit operation in the quick split
mode has been accepted normally. The

PSUS(SP)

split operation triggers a copy operation.

1

Only the P-VOL differential data is being
copied to the S-VOL in background. The
PSUS(SP) pairs cannot be deleted.

P-VOL: PSUS

Read and write. The S-VOL
can be mounted.

The storage system stops performing update
copy operations for PSUS (split) pairs, and

PSUS

S-VOL: SSUS

starts accepting write I/Os for PSUS
S-VOLs. The storage system keeps track of
all updates to the split P-VOL and S-VOL,
