After creating the pair, if you do not see the number of pairs and other information you expect to
see in the Summary tab of the Local Replications window, the system is working and requires more
time. Wait a little longer, then click File/Refresh.
Suspending pair creation
You can suspend a pair create operation (initial copy). When this is done, pair status changes to
Suspend/SUSPER. The S-VOL continues accepting write I/O operations from the P-VOL and marks
the entire P-VOL track as difference data. Resynchronizing a suspended pair change the pair status
to Resync/PENDING and copies the entire P-VOL to the S-VOL. Resynchronizing a suspended pair
takes the same time as the initial copy operation.
The storage system automatically suspends a pair when it detects an error condition related to an
update copy operation, or when it cannot keep the pair mirrored.
