About workflows

A workflow is a series of tasks associated with the creation of a copy pair or copy group. Workflows
are created automatically when you set up a copy pair or copy group using the Pair Configuration
Wizard. Workflows are managed for all the copy groups that constitute multi-target configurations
or cascade configurations.

TIP:

For situations such as when storage system resources and host applications are managed by different
administrators, the work status can be saved as a workflow at any point during copy pair creation
and passed from one administrator to the next. In this case, a new task is generated when the wizard
finishes, and the saved workflow is overwritten.
