10. In the list on the Pair Operations pane, verify that the pair was split successfully. If the pair

was split, the pair status is PSUS.

NOTE:

To restore a pair that has already been split, use the Pairresync command (see

Restoring a pair of data volumes

).

Figure 63 Pairsplit-r pane

S-VOL Write: Specifies whether hosts can write data to the secondary data volume. The default
is Disable (that is, 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: Split range. If you select two or more pairs in the same consistency group, the default
is LU. Otherwise, the default is Group.

LU: Only the specified pairs are split.

NOTE:

If you select pairs with PAIR status and pairs with other than PAIR status in the

same consistency group, an unexpected suspension might occur during the pair operations
(Pairsplit-r, Pairsplit-S, and Pairresync) under heavy I/O load conditions. You can estimate
whether the I/O load is heavy or not from the host I/O frequency. The suspend pair
operations should be performed under light I/O load conditions.

Group: All pairs in the same consistency groups as the selected pairs are split.
