* To restore a path, delete and then add the path again. It may be necessary to delete and then add the RCU again.
To delete the RCU or path, see “Deleting Continuous Access Synchronous Z” (page 90) or “Deleting remote paths”
(page 87) . To re-register, see “Setting up primary and secondary systems for Cnt Ac-S Z” (page 60) . If you cannot
restore the path after performing these operations, contact HP for assistance.
Split pair problems
