When a pair is suspended, the primary system stops performing journal-obtain operations for the
pair. However, the primary system continues the following operations:

Continues accepting write I/Os for the suspended P-VOL

Keeps track of the P-VOL cylinders/tracks that are updated

Keeps track of journal data discarded during the pair suspension. (Both primary and secondary
systems do this.)

A split or suspended S-VOL has a separate consistency status that indicates its update sequence
consistency with respect to the other S-VOLs in the associated journal. Consistency status displays
on the secondary system only.

Table 3 (page 71)

describes S-VOL consistency statuses.

When the pair is re-synchronized, the primary and secondary systems perform the following
operations:

The secondary system sends the S-VOL bitmap to the primary system

The primary system merges the P-VOL and S-VOL bitmaps to synchronize the tracks

These actions ensure that all cylinders/tracks containing journal data discarded on the secondary
system are re-synchronized.
