not permit):
S-VOL Write
•
Disable: Hosts cannot write data to the S-VOL while the pair is split.
•
Enable: Hosts can write data to the S-VOL while the pair is split. This option is available
only when the selected volume is a P-VOL.
Specify the split range. The default is Volume if two or more pairs in the same mirror are
selected. The default is Mirror if not.
Range
•
Volume: Only the specified pair(s) is split.
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.
•
Mirror: All pairs in the same mirror(s) as the selected pair(s) is split. If the following two
conditions are satisfied and you click Apply, a warning message appears and processing
cannot be continued:
The Preview list contains two or more pairs belonging to the same mirror.
The Range column displays Mirror for at least one of the above pairs.

Ensure that the Range column displays Volume for all pairs in the same mirror.
In the Preview list, select one pair in one mirror, and then other pairs in the mirror is
excluded.
