Description

Pair Status

SMPL

N/A (there is no S-VOL yet).

The volume is not assigned to an XP
Business Copy pair. The storage system

SMPL

accepts read and write I/Os for all SMPL
volumes that are not reserved.

COPY

Read only.

The paircreate operation has been
accepted normally. The initial copy will be

COPY(PD)

performed.

1

The storage system continues

to accept read and write operations for the
P-VOL, but stops accepting write operations
for the S-VOL. No update copy operations
are performed.

PAIR

Read only.

The initial copy operation is complete, and
the storage system starts performing

PAIR

asynchronous update copy operations from
the P-VOL to the S-VOL as needed. The
P-VOL and S-VOL of a duplex pair (PAIR
status) may not be identical.

COPY

Read only.

The pairsplit operation in the steady split
mode has been accepted normally. The

COPY(SP)

split operation triggers a copy operation.

1

All P-VOL updates prior to the pairsplit
command are being copied to the S-VOL.
When these updates are complete, the split
S-VOL is identical to the state of the P-VOL
when the split started.

COPY

Read and write. The S-VOL
can be mounted.

The pairsplit operation in the quick split
mode has been accepted normally. The

PSUS(SP)

split operation triggers a copy operation.

1

Only the P-VOL differential data is being
copied to the S-VOL in background. The
PSUS(SP) pairs cannot be deleted.

P-VOL: PSUS

Read and write. The S-VOL
can be mounted.

The storage system stops performing update
copy operations for PSUS (split) pairs, and

PSUS

S-VOL: SSUS

starts accepting write I/Os for PSUS
S-VOLs. The storage system keeps track of
all updates to the split P-VOL and S-VOL,
