c. Issue the showrcopy command on the asynchronous periodic backup system (SystemC)
and verify that it has resumed the role of backup system.
The following example shows the showrcopy command output for SystemC:

Handling Backup System Failure
If one backup system in an SLD remote-copy configuration fails, remote copy can still continue
between the primary system and the second backup system.
Figure 69 (page 248) illustrates an SLD configuration in which the backup system (SystemB), fails,
yet remote copy in asynchronous periodic mode still continues between the primary system (SystemA)
and second backup system (SystemC). Similarly, if SystemC failed, remote copy in synchronous
mode would still continue between the primary system (SystemA) and the first backup system
(SystemB).
