Prerequisites for resynchronizing pairs

This operation is performed from the primary system only.

Pair status must be PSUS or PSUE.

If pair status is HOLD, HOLDING, or HLDE, use the resynchronizing mirrors operation (see

“Resynchronizing mirrors ” (page 50)

).

Pairs suspended by the system (PSUE status) can be resynchronized after the error causing
the suspension is corrected.

The following additional information may be useful before beginning the procedure:

Performing the operation on a pair in HLDE status changes the status to HOLD.

The primary system does not resynchronize a pair that is suspended due to an error until the
cause of error is resolved.

If P-VOL status is Failure and S-VOL status is unpaired, the pair cannot be recovered by
resynchronizing. It must be deleted and created again.

Resynchronizing pairs when I/O load is low reduces impact on performance. Operations on
multiple pairs in the same mirror with different statuses may results in suspension during periods
of heavy write I/O.

If you resynchronize pairs in PAIR status and other than PAIR status in the same mirror, an
unexpected suspension could occur during the operation under heavy I/O load conditions.
You can estimate whether the I/O load is heavy or not from frequency of host I/Os. This
operation should be performed under light I/O load conditions.

Procedure 5 To resynchronize a pair

1.

In the Storage Systems tree, click Replication > Remote Replication, and then select the Cnt
Ac-J Pairs tab.

2.

From the Actions menu, click Remote Replication > Resync Pairs.

3.

In the Resync Pairs window, review the pairs in the Selected Pairs table. You can remove a
pair from the table by selecting it and clicking Cancel.
