An LDEV number that ends with a pound or gate symbol (#) indicates that the LDEV is an
external volume (for example, 00:00:01#). An LDEV number that ends with a letter X
indicates that the LDEV is a virtual volume used by XP Thin Provisioning (for example,
00:00:01X). For details regarding the external volumes, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 External Storage Software User Guide. For information about XP
Thin Provisioning, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Thin Provisioning
Software User Guide.

The Copy Pace list allows you to select the copy pace (from Slower, Medium, or Faster) for
all the pairs that you are splitting. By clicking Set, the same copy pace will be applied to all
the newly pairs that you are splitting.
◦
When the Preview List already holds some Pairsplit settings, and you specify a different
copy pace for new pairs in the Pairsplit dialog box, the copy pace for the existing Pairsplit
settings displayed in the Preview List will be also changed. The latest copy pace specified
in the Pairsplit dialog box is in effect before the settings are reflected to the storage system.
◦
If you specify Slower, the pace of copying will be slow, but you can minimize the impact
of XP Business Copy operations on storage system I/O performance. If you specify Faster,
the copy operation completes as quickly as possible, but it will cause a large impact on
the I/O operation.
•
The Select MU list allows you to select the MU number for each pair being created from: 0,
1, and 2 for L1 pairs, and 1 and 2 for L2 pairs.
◦
You can select an MU number for a cascade pair. You cannot select the same MU number
for different cascade pairs of the same P-VOL (root or node volume).
◦
If you specify the MU number that is already used for XP Snapshot pair, or if you specify
MU number 0 for L2 pair, an error occurs.
•
The Select Split Type list allows you to select the pairsplit type from Quick Split or Steady Split.

Both areas that are not copied and areas that are already copied can be read
as usual.

Read
Cannot be read, though the
read processing itself will finish
normally.
The areas that are already copied can be read
as usual.
If the host server tries to read the area that is
not copied yet, firstly XP Business Copy copies
that area from the P-VOL, and then the host
server will read the area after the copy
operation completes. Therefore, the result will
be the same as when the host server reads the
area that is already copied.
