Chapter 8 Performing Pair Operations 8-21

– The primary data volume becomes reserved when you split the pair.
If the secondary data volume is suspended due to a failure, you can restore
the pair by using the Resume Pair command.
Figure 8-6 Suspend Pair Window
The Suspend Pair window displays the following:
• S-VOL Write: Allows you to specify whether to permit hosts to write data
to the secondary data volume. The default is Disable (i.e., do not permit):
– Disable: Hosts cannot write data to the secondary data volume while
the pair is split.
– Enable: Hosts can write data to the secondary data volume while the
pair is split. This option is available only when the selected volume is a
primary data volume.
• Range: Allows you to specify the split range. The default is Volume if two
or more pairs in the same mirror are selected. The default is Group if not.
– Volume: Only the specified pair(s) will be split. Note: If you select pairs
with Duplex status and other than Duplex status in the same mirror, an
unexpected suspension may occur during the pair operations (Suspend
Pair, Delete(release) Pair, and Resume Pair) under heavy I/O load
conditions. You can estimate whether the I/O load is heavy or not from
frequency of host I/Os. The suspend pair operations should be
performed under light I/O load conditions.
– Group: All pairs in the same mirror(s) as the selected pair(s) will be
split.
Note : If the following two conditions are satisfied and you select Apply, a
warning message will be displayed and processing cannot be continued:
– The Preview list contains two or more pairs belonging to the same
mirror.
– The Range column displays Group for at least one of the above pairs.
To be able to continue processing, do either of the following:
• Ensure that the Range column displays Volume for all pairs in the same
mirror.
