Table 6 Suspend Types (continued)

Description

Applies to

Suspend Type

The primary storage system could not find valid control information
in its nonvolatile memory during the IMPL procedure. This condition

occurs only if the primary storage system is completely without power
for more than 48 hours (for example, power failure and fully
discharged backup batteries).

The volume pair was suspended before the initial copy operation
was complete. The data on the secondary data volume is not
identical to the data on the primary data volume.

The data volume pair was suspended because it was highly likely
that journal data would overflow.

Table 7 Consistency Status for Suspended Universal Replicator for Mainframe Secondary Data
Volumes

Description

Consistency Status

This Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume pair was suspended alone. Update
sequence consistency between this secondary data volume and other secondary data

Volume

volumes in this journal group is not ensured. This secondary data volume cannot be
used for disaster recovery at the secondary system. This status is indicated when:

This volume pair was suspended by a user-initiated suspend pair operation with
the Universal Replicator for Mainframe Suspend option set to Volume.

This volume pair was suspended due to a failure that did not affect the entire
consistency group, and the Error Level pair option for this pair is set to Volume.

This Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume pair was suspended along with the
other pair in its journal group. Update sequence consistency between this secondary

Group

data volume and other secondary data volumes in this journal group is ensured. This
secondary data volume can be used for disaster recovery at the secondary system
(after releasing the Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume pair from the secondary
storage system). This status is indicated when:

This volume pair was suspended by a user-initiated suspend pair operation with
the Universal Replicator for Mainframe Suspend option set to Group.

All volume pairs in this journal group were suspended due to a failure that affected
the entire journal group (not just one pair) (for example, primary storage
system-secondary storage system communication failure).

The volume pair was suspended due to a failure that did not affect the entire
group.

Suspension Condition

Universal Replicator for Mainframe operations also involve suspension conditions related to
asynchronous operations. Both the primary storage system and secondary storage system can
detect Universal Replicator for Mainframe suspension conditions and suspend Universal Replicator
for Mainframe pairs.

The Universal Replicator for Mainframe suspension conditions described in

Table 8 (page 43)

indicate which CU detects the condition and which pairs are suspended. See

“General

Troubleshooting” (page 228)

for troubleshooting information for Universal Replicator for Mainframe

suspension conditions.
