This chapter provides information and instructions for monitoring and maintaining the BC Z system.
Monitoring the system

Monitoring should be an ongoing activity. This section provides information for the following:
•
“Monitoring pair activity, status ” (page 49) . Status definitions and permitted operations for
each status are included.
•
“Monitoring pair, volume details” (page 52) .
•
“Monitoring synchronous rates” (page 52) .
•
“Monitoring consistency groups” (page 53) .

Monitoring pair activity, status
Monitoring the BC Z system is necessary to maintain your pairs.
Each operation requires a specific status or statuses. When you want to perform a pair command,
first check the pair’s status.
Pair-status changes when an operation is performed. Check status to see that pairs are operating
correctly and that status is changing to the appropriate state during and after the operation.
Monitoring should be repeated frequently. Email notifications of problems in pair operations can
be set up using RWC.
