Copy Pair Operations Common to All Copy Types

HP recommends that you execute the YKSUSPND and YKDELETE commands when the status
of the P-VOL or S-VOL in a copy group is DUPLEX or SUSPER.

Acquire the latest volume status with the YKQUERY or YKEWAIT command before performing
each operation for a copy pair by using CLI commands.

Business Continuity Manager does not support copy pair operations for copy pairs created
by a different product (for example, Remote Web Console). Business Continuity Manager also
does not support copy pair operations on copy pairs managed by a different product even if
the copy pairs were created in Business Continuity Manager. For these reasons, always use
Business Continuity Manager to create and perform operations on copy pairs that you will
manage using Business Continuity Manager.

Copy Pair Operations for BC Z and TCA

If the primary site is not updated after you set the suspend time by using the YKSUSPND
command with the ATTIME parameter, the time at which the copy pair is suspended might
differ from the specified time. However, the data on the secondary site will match that of the
primary site at the specified time for the copy pair to be suspended.

If you execute the YKRESYNC command after suspending the volume with the YKSUSPND
command specifying the ATTIME parameter, Business Continuity Manager automatically
deletes scheduled suspend information. However, when you execute the YKRESYNC command
specifying the DEVN or VOLUNIT parameter, Business Continuity Manager does not delete
