The secondary system received a request from the
primary system to split the pair. The P-VOL split S-VOL SUSPEND(05) SUSPOP(05) by Local Storage

type is Suspended-Primary Volume by Operator or
Suspended-Secondary Volume by Operator.
The primary system detected an error condition at
the secondary system (RCU), that caused the P-VOL SUSPEND(06) SUSPCU(06) by Remote

primary system to split the pair. The S-VOL split
type is S-VOL Failure.
The primary system detected that the S-VOL status
changed to Simplex because the user released the P-VOL SUSPEND(07) SUSPER(07) Delete pair to
RCU
pair from the secondary system. The pair cannot
be resynchronized because the S-VOL does not
have the Suspend status.
The primary system detected an error during
communication with the secondary system, or an P-VOL SUSPEND(08) SUSPCU(08) S-VOL failure
error during update copy. In this case, the S-VOL
split type is usually S-VOL Failure. This split type is
also used when the number of paths falls below
the minimum number of paths setting on the Add
Remote Connection window.

System behavior
Note the following behaviors for split pairs:
•
The primary system stops performing update operations to the S-VOL. It may or may not
continue accepting write I/Os to the P-VOL depending on the P-VOL fence level setting and
split option.
•
If an update fails, the primary system reports a unit check and notifies the host that Write fails.
This ensures that both the host system and application program regard the write operation to
the P-VOL as failed.
•
If the primary system accepts subsequent write I/Os for a split P-VOL, the system records the
updated data in the P-VOL tracks as differential data. When a split pair is resynchronized,
the primary system copies the out of sync P-VOL tracks to the S-VOL as differential data.
