In such a case, resynchronize the consistency group and then run the split command again.

Host access after split

You can specify settings for read/write access to the P-VOL/P-VOL and S-VOL/S-VOL in consistency
groups after pairs are split. These settings are specified using RAID Manager or Business Continuity
Manager.

The RAID Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S are optional.

The Business Continuity Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S Z are required.

The following tables show the effects of the settings on read and write access.

Pair status before and after a split operation

Pairs in the same consistency group must be in PAIR/Duplex status when you begin the split
operation in order to maintain consistency. Otherwise, when the operation completes, pair status
will be inconsistent.

This is shown in the following table, in which font angle indicates the following:

Italics font: Pair status before the split operation on the consistency group

Regular font: Status after the split operation
