Creating Pairs
WARNING: The Business Copy paircreate operation overwrites all existing data on the S-VOLs. The user
is responsible for backing up the data on the S-VOLs before creating Business Copy pairs.
The Paircreate dialog box (see
Figure 31 on page 66) allows you to select the S-VOLs for each P-VOL, set
the copy pace for all pairs being created, and start the paircreate operations. Information about how to
create normal pairs or cascaded L1 pairs, see “ Creating L1 Pairs ” on page 68. Information about how
to create cascaded L2 pairs, see “ Creating L2 Pairs ” on page 69.
To create new Business Copy pairs and then split them immediately so that you can access the S-VOLs as
soon as possible, use the Pairsplit dialog box instead of the Paircreate dialog box to create and split new
pairs at the same time (see “ Splitting Pairs ” on page 71 for instructions).
Figure 31 Paircreate Dialog Box
The Paircreate dialog box consists of the following components.
• Paircreate Volume List
The Volume List located on the upper side of the Paircreate dialog box displays the following
information pertaining to the P-VOL and S-VOL used for creating a pair:
• P-VOL: Information about P-VOL is displayed in AAA-BB-CCC(XX:YY:ZZ) format.
• AAA: The port ID (cluster and channel number)
• BB: The group number of host group
• CCC:
LU number
• XX:YY:ZZ: LDKC number:CU number:LDEV number
Note: An LDEV number that ends with a # mark indicates that the LDEV is an external volume
(for example, 00:00:01#). An LDEV number that ends with a letter X indicates that the LDEV is
a virtual volume used by XP Thin Provisioning (for example, 00:00:01X). For details regarding
