This is No if more than one primary storage systems and more than one secondary storage systems are used for remote
copy (see

“Using Multiple Primary and Secondary Storage Systems” (page 62)

).

4

The volume can be used as a secondary data volume only when you restore a Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair
or perform an Business Continuity Manager YKRESYNC REVERSE operation. However, even in this case, you cannot use
the volume as the secondary data volume of the Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair for the delta resync operation.

5

The SWAPPING status is displayed by Business Continuity Manager. Remote Web Console displays this status as
Suspended.

Virtual LVI

You can perform Virtual LVI operations on primary and secondary data volumes in Universal
Replicator for Mainframe pairs. If you need to perform Virtual LVI operations on a Universal
Replicator for Mainframe primary data volume or secondary data volume, you must delete the pair
first to return the volume to Simplex status.

When creating a Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair consisting of two Virtual LVI volumes,
make sure that the primary data volume and the secondary data volumes have the same capacity.

Cache Residency Manager

Cache Residency Manager operations can be performed on Universal Replicator for Mainframe
primary data volumes and secondary data volumes.

ShadowImage for Mainframe

Universal Replicator for Mainframe and ShadowImage for Mainframe can be used together in the
same storage system and on the same volumes to provide multiple copies of data at the primary
and/or secondary sites.

Table 22 (page 69)

describes the host pair status reporting for Universal

Replicator for Mainframe volumes, ShadowImage for Mainframe volumes, and Universal Replicator
for Mainframe/ShadowImage for Mainframe shared volumes.

Table 23 (page 69)

shows the

currency of the data on a shared Universal Replicator for Mainframe/ShadowImage for Mainframe
volume based on the Universal Replicator for Mainframe and ShadowImage for Mainframe pair
status.

For shared Universal Replicator for Mainframe/ShadowImage for Mainframe volumes, the
Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair status is reported to the host if you query the Universal
Replicator for Mainframe primary data volume or secondary data volume. To obtain the
ShadowImage for Mainframe pair status, query the target volume (T-VOL) of the ShadowImage
for Mainframe pair.

ShadowImage for Mainframe supports multiple T-VOLs for each source volume (S-VOL). If you
issue a pair status query to a ShadowImage for Mainframe S-VOL (for example, pairdisplay),
