CAUTION:

The L2 paircreate operation overwrites all existing data on the L2 S-VOLs. You are responsible for
backing up the data on the S-VOLs before creating BC pairs.

Creating L2 pairs

Ensure that the L2 S-VOLs are unmounted.

In the BC main screen, select the L1 pairs to which you want to add the L2 pairs, right-click the
selected L1 pairs, and select Paircreate. The Paircreate window appears.

In the Paircreate window, select the L1 node volume, select the MU number (1 or 2) in the Select
MU list, and select the S-VOL for the new L2 pair (MU=0 was already used as the L1 S-VOL).

4.

Click Cascade to add the L2 pair to the list of pairs.

5.

Repeat until all L2 pairs are displayed. Click Change to replace an S-VOL, click Cascade to add
an S-VOL, and use the Delete command to remove pairs.

list to the Preset Volume list on the BC main screen.
