If a split operation is in progress when I/O processing on the pairs begins, the split operation
on the pairs is given priority. After the pair is split, then the I/O processing begins.

Data consistency cannot be ensured when all of the following conditions exist:

- A port is blocked.

- A split command is in progress.

- I/O processing begins.

In such a case, resynchronize the consistency group and then run the split command again.

Host access after split

You can specify settings for read/write access to the P-VOL/P-VOL and S-VOL/S-VOL in consistency
groups after pairs are split. These settings are specified using RAID Manager or Business Continuity
Manager.

The RAID Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S are optional.

The Business Continuity Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S Z are required.

The following tables show the effects of the settings on read and write access.
