Requirements, restrictions, and recommendations

Observe the following when using the consistency group pair-split with shared Cnt Ac-S or Cnt
Ac-J volumes:

RAID Manager is required.

BC primary volumes must be shared with the Cnt Ac-J or Cnt Ac-S secondary volumes.

BC pairs must be registered in the same BC consistency group, to insure consistent backup
operations.

The same status is required for all Cnt Ac-J or Cnt Ac-S pairs whose S-VOLs are shared with
the BC consistency group pairs.

Cnt Ac-J/BC pair status must be the following:

Cnt Ac-J: PAIR or PSUS.

BC: PAIR or COPY(PD)/COPY.

Cnt Ac-S/BC pair status must be the following:

PAIR or PSUS.

BC: PAIR or COPY(PD)/COPY.

One split operation can be performed per BC consistency group.

Cnt Ac-J pairs must belong to the same journal group. If multiple journal groups are registered
in one BC consistency group, consistent backup cannot be insured on BC secondary volumes.

With Cnt Ac-J,three split operations can be performed per Cnt Ac-J journal (equivalent to three
BC consistency groups).
