3.

At the primary site, locate primary data volumes whose pair status is not Simplex, and then

locate corresponding secondary data volumes whose pair status is Simplex. If such volume pairs

are found, issue a request for releasing the pairs to the primary data volumes.

4.

At the primary site, locate data volume pairs whose pair status is Simplex, and then use

Business Continuity Manager to execute YKRECVER on the secondary data volume (YKRECVER is

a command for releasing a pair).

5.

Execute the YKRESYNC REVERSE option on secondary data volumes whose pair status is

Suspend, which is equivalent to SWAPPING in Business Continuity Manager terminology

(YKRESYNC is the Business Continuity Manager command for resynchronizing pair). This

reverses primary data volumes and secondary data volumes to resynchronize pairs.

6.

Create pairs, specifying secondary data volumes whose pair status is Simplex as primary data

volumes. This creates pairs in which primary data volumes and secondary data volumes are

reversed.

7.

Verify that pair status of all secondary data volumes (which were originally primary data

volumes) changes from Pending Duplex to Duplex. If the pair status is changed to Duplex, initial

copy operations are finished and consistency is maintained.

The above procedure enables copying of data from the secondary site to the primary site. Data in the

secondary site will be reflected on the primary site.
For detailed information about how to use Business Continuity Manager, please refer to Business

Continuity Manager User’s Guide.
For detailed information about status of data volumes, refer to “

Pair Status

” on page 45.

Resuming Normal Operations at the Primary Site

Once the URz volume pairs have been established in the reverse direction, you are ready to resume

normal operations at the primary site. The following procedure explains how to resume normal operations

at the primary site by using Business Continuity Manager. Remember that the URz terminology is

now reversed: the original primary data volumes are now secondary data volumes, and the original

secondary data volumes are now primary data volumes.

1.

At the primary and secondary sites, make sure that all URz components are fully operational

and are free from failures.

2.

Make sure that pair status of primary and secondary data volumes in all URz pairs is "Duplex."

This indicates that the URz initial copy operations are complete and consistency is maintained.

3.

Stop the applications at the secondary site.

4.

Issue a request for splitting pairs to master journal groups (which were originally restore

journal groups); please use the Business Continuity Manager to execute the YKSUSPND FLUSH

SVOL PERMIT option on the master journal group (which was originally the restore journal

group); YKSUSPND is a command for splitting pairs. If an error occurs when splitting pairs,

please remove the error cause and go back to step 1 after resuming your business task at

the secondary site.

5.

If no error occurs in step 4, wait until suspension finishes. After suspension finishes, check

whether there is a secondary data volume (which is originally a primary data volume) whose

pair status is other than Suspend (equivalent to SUSPOP with Business Continuity Manager). If

such a pair exists, please remove the error cause and go back to step 1 after resuming your

business task at the secondary site.

6.

If there is no secondary data volume (which is originally a primary data volume) whose pair

status is other than Suspend (equivalent to SUSPOP with Business Continuity Manager), data in

primary data volumes are the same as data in secondary data volumes, and the secondary

data volume (which are originally primary data volumes) are usable. Please resume applications

at the primary site.

7.

Execute the YKSUSPND REVERSE command on the restore journal group (which were originally

master journal group); YKSUSPND is a Business Continuity Manager command and REVERSE is

an option. Wait until suspension completes.
