operation is complete, the pair status changes to PSUS to enable you to access the split

Table 2 XP Business Copy Pair Status

S-VOL Access

Description

Pair Status

N/A (there is no S-VOL yet).

The volume is not assigned to an XP Business Copy pair.
The storage system accepts read and write I/Os for all
SMPL volumes that are not reserved.

SMPL

Read only.

The paircreate operation has been accepted normally. The
initial copy will be performed.

1

The storage system

continues to accept read and write operations for the
P-VOL, but stops accepting write operations for the S-VOL.
No update copy operations are performed.

COPY(PD)

Read only.

The initial copy operation is complete, and the storage
system starts performing asynchronous update copy
operations from the P-VOL to the S-VOL as needed. The
P-VOL and S-VOL of a duplex pair (PAIR status) may not
be identical.

PAIR

Read only.

The pairsplit operation in the steady split mode has been
accepted normally. The split operation triggers a copy
operation.

1

All P-VOL updates prior to the pairsplit

command are being copied to the S-VOL. When these
updates are complete, the split S-VOL is identical to the
state of the P-VOL when the split started.

COPY(SP)

Read and write. The S-VOL can be
mounted.

The pairsplit operation in the quick split mode has been
accepted normally. The split operation triggers a copy
operation.

1

Only the P-VOL differential data is being copied

to the S-VOL in background. The PSUS(SP) pairs cannot
be deleted.

PSUS(SP)

Read and write. The S-VOL can be
mounted.

The storage system stops performing update copy
operations for PSUS (split) pairs, and starts accepting write
I/Os for PSUS S-VOLs. The storage system keeps track of
all updates to the split P-VOL and S-VOL, so that the pair
can be resynchronized quickly.
