Monitoring pair activity, status
Monitoring the Business Copy 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 Remote Web Console.
