About editing copy pair configuration definitions

You can edit existing copy pair configuration definitions by first selecting an existing paired volume
or copy group and starting the Pair Configuration Wizard. You can use the wizard to change the
configuration of a copy pair or related copy groups. The configuration of specific copy groups can
be changed in the following ways:

By creating new pair groups and associating with an existing copy group

By adding pairs to an existing copy group

TIP:

You cannot edit user-specified parameters such as copy group name, port number and instance
number after the copy pair configuration definitions are created using the Pair Configuration Wizard.
If these parameters need to be edited, it is necessary to manually modify the copy pair configuration
definitions outside of Replication Manager.

A number of conditions can affect the copy pair configuration definition settings. Before you use the
Pair Configuration Wizard to edit a copy pair configuration definition, check the conditions described
in the following topics:

Copy pair configuration conditions

Storage system conditions for pair configuration definition

Prerequisites for changing copy pair configuration (mainframe systems)

, page 192

In mainframe systems, you cannot delete or edit all pairs that are already in an existing copy group.
This restriction prevents deletion of copy groups with distribution relationships. For details of conditions
that disrupt copy group linkage, see “
