Continuous Access Synchronous/Business Copy/Continuous Access Journal volume
status
Each Continuous Access Synchronous pair consists of one P-VOL and one S-VOL, and each Business
Copy pair consists of one P-VOL and up to nine S-VOLs when the cascade function is used.
lists and describes the Continuous Access Synchronous and Business Copy
pair status terms. The P-VOL controls the pair status for the primary and secondary volumes. The
major pair statuses are SMPL, PAIR, PSUS/PSUE, and COPY/RCPY. Read and write requests from
the host are accepted or rejected depending on the pair status of the volume.
The pair status can change when a RAID Manager command is executed. The validity of the
specified operation is checked according to the status of the volume (primary volume).
