Power supply and existing shared memory
After you switch off the power supply, you can use the pools and pairs if data in the SM exists
and the data is not blocked. The storage system checks the pool’s and the pool-VOL’s status. If the
pool-VOLs are blocked at the time you switch off the power supply, the pool is blocked and the
pairs are suspended (“PSUE” status).
