Pair status definitions

Both Remote Web Console and RAID Manager pair status names appear in the Pair Operation
window Status columns, except when the names are the same. When they are the same, the RAID
Manager status does not appear.

The following table shows both types of status names and their descriptions. In some cases, a
particular status has no exact parallel status in the other interface. This is noted.

When checking your pairs’ status, click File/Refresh to make sure the data is current. The P-VOL
access and S-VOL access columns in the following table indicate whether the volumes accept
read/write.
