so that the pair can be resynchronized
quickly.

COPY

Read only.

The pairresync operation has been
accepted normally. The pairresync

COPY(RS)

operation triggers a copy operation.

1

When a split pair is resynchronized in
normal mode, the storage system copies
only the P-VOL differential data to the
S-VOL. When a PSUE (suspended) pair is
resynchronized, the storage system copies
the entire P-VOL to the S-VOL. No update
copy operations are performed during the
pairresync operation.

RCPY

Read only.

The reverse pairresync operation has been
accepted normally. The reverse pairresync

COPY(RS-R)

operation triggers a copy operation.

When a split pair is resynchronized in
reverse or quick restore mode, the storage
system copies only the S-VOL differential
data to the P-VOL. No update copy
operations are performed during the
reverse or quick restore pairresync
operation.

PSUE

Read only.

The storage system continues accepting
read and write I/Os for a PSUE

PSUE

(suspended) P-VOL, but does not perform
update copy operations to a PSUE S-VOL.
The storage system marks the entire P-VOL
track map as difference data so that the
entire P-VOL is copied to the S-VOL when
the PSUE pair is resumed. Use the
pairresync command to resume a PSUE
pair.

It may take time until the copy starts, because the starting time of the copy depends on the number of pairs and the
system environment.
