Getting Pair Information (Pair Tag)

By specifying the LDKC and CU in the Pair tag, you can get Universal Replicator for Mainframe
pair information in a specified range. Note that you might not get Simplex volume information. If
no Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair exists in the specified range, the output will be only
the Pair tag.

The following table shows the parameters and contents that results from using the Pair tag.

N

Priority specified when you create or resynchronize the pair

Priority

O

Error level specified when you created or resynchronized the pair, or changed the option
of that pair

ErrorLevel

P

CFW specified when you created or resynchronized the pair, or changed the option of the
pair. CFW is the setting that specifies whether the Cache-fast-write data will be copied to
the secondary data volume or not.

Even if you specify None for the Copy Mode parameter when creating a pair using the AddPair tag, the Pair tag outputs
Entire for this item. In addition, if the delta resync operation is performed after the pair creation, the output copy mode
may be different from the copy mode specified when the pair was created.

The information received by the Pair tag will be output in a file named
RemoteCopyJournalMF_Pair_XX.spd.

In the file, each single line expresses the information

for one pair. If more than 65,536 lines result from a single operation, the file will be divided. An
XX indicates the sequential number starts from 01. However, the XP24000/XP20000 Disk Arrays
only allow 32,768 Universal Replicator for Mainframe pairs, therefore the output information will
not exceed 65,536 lines. In this case, the file would not be divided and a file named
RemoteCopyJournalMF_Pair_00.spd

will be created.

Creating Pairs (AddPair Tag)

Use the AddPair tag to create the Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair. Import the spreadsheet
to the primary site and then perform the CLI by using the spreadsheet with the AddPair tag from
the primary site. Remember that the volumes specified for the primary and secondary data volumes
should not be used by other Universal Replicator for Mainframe pairs.
