Figure 9 Quick Restore Operation With or Without Swap&Freeze Option

The Quick Restore pairresync operation on a pair with status PSUS exchanges the data in the P-VOL and

the S-VOL of the pair. If you use Swap&Freeze option when performing the Quick Restore pairresync

operation, the update copy operation will not take place after the Quick Restore pairresync operation

is complete. Therefore, the data of the P-VOL and the S-VOL is kept exchanged. If you do not use

Swap&Freeze option when performing the Quick Restore pairresync operation, the update copy

operation will take place after the Quick Restore pairresync operation is complete, and the data in the

P-VOL overwrites the S-VOL.

Host I/O Performance Option

The Host I/O Performance option improves host I/O responses over Business Copy copy processing time.

When the Host I/O Performance option is used, the storage system suppresses Business Copy copy

processing, and consequently the host I/O responses improve.

Note:

When Business Copy copy processing is suppressed by the Host I/O Performance option, the time

taken for copying increases. Also, if ShadowImage for Mainframe pairs exist, host I/O responses might

not be faster. In this case, set the Host I/O Performance option for ShadowImage for Mainframe as well.
