NOTE:
If the status of only a part of the pairs in the same consistency group is changed, the processing of
At-Time Split function may not resume when you switch on the power supply, and the status of some pairs
may remain unchanged.
CAUTION:
If data on the shared memory is volatilized and lost after the power turns on, problems
may occur during operations. To avoid possible problems, withdraw as much relationships as
possible before powering off the disk array.
Suspending FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 Pairs
FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs may be suspended if a hardware or software failure occurs during

unable to access copy target datasets.
To find whether suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs exist within the volumes, use the
ShadowImage z/OS main panel. If the Relation(s) column of the volume list displays S-Failed or T-Failed,
a suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair exists within the volume.
