NOTE:

If the status of only a part of the pairs in the same consistency group is changed, the processing of

At-Time Split function may not resume when you switch on the power supply, and the status of some pairs

may remain unchanged.

CAUTION:

If data on the shared memory is volatilized and lost after the power turns on, problems

may occur during operations. To avoid possible problems, withdraw as much relationships as

possible before powering off the disk array.

Suspending FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 Pairs

FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs may be suspended if a hardware or software failure occurs during

FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 operation. If FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs are suspended, hosts may be

unable to access copy target datasets.
To find whether suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs exist within the volumes, use the

ShadowImage z/OS main panel. If the Relation(s) column of the volume list displays S-Failed or T-Failed,

a suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair exists within the volume.
To delete a suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair, do one of the following:

Delete the copy target dataset that have the suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair (i.e., the

dataset that is inaccessible from hosts). The operating system will automatically recognize the pair that

has the dataset to be deleted, and will issue the Withdraw command.

Issue the TSO FCWITHDR command. If the suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair can be

identified, please issue the FCWITHDR command to its extent. For detailed information about the

FCWITHDR command, see ”
