Table 8 S-VOL consistency statuses

Description

Consistency status

Volume

Only the current pair was split or suspended.

Update sequence consistency between this S-VOL and other S-VOLs in the associated
journal is not insured.

This S-VOL cannot be used for disaster recovery at the secondary site.

This status is indicated when:

- The pair is split by the user using the Suspend Range-Volume (LU) pairsplit option.

- The pair is suspended due to a failure that did not affect the entire journal.

Mirror

The pair was split or suspended along with the other pairs in the associated mirror.

Update sequence consistency between this S-VOL and other S-VOLs in this mirror is
insured.

This S-VOL can be used for disaster recovery on the secondary system.

This status is indicated when:

- The pair is split by specifying mirror of the pairsplit -r option.

- All pairs in the associated mirror are suspended due to a failure that affects the entire
group; for example, path failure.

- One pair in the mirror was suspended due to a failure that did not affect the entire
group.

PSUE types and behaviors

The primary system suspends a pair and changes its status to PSUE when it detects any of the
following:

The user has released the pair on the secondary system.

An error condition related to the secondary system, S-VOL, or an update operation.

The primary system is unable to communicate with the secondary system.

A Continuous Access Journal suspension condition is detected by the system.

The following describes the types of PSUE status.
