Analyzing the Consistency of TrueCopy for Mainframe Async R-VOLs

“Analyzing the Consistency of TrueCopy for Mainframe Async R-VOLs” (page 172)

shows how to

determine the consistency of a TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous R-VOL based on its pair
status and consistency status. For TrueCopy for Mainframe Asynchronous R-VOLs with a consistency
status of Volume, the volume is not consistent with other volumes in the same group, and further
analysis will be required to determine the currency of each of these R-VOLs. The currency of these
R-VOLs can be determined by using the sense information transferred via the ERC or by comparing
the contents of the R-VOL with other files which are confirmed to be current (for example, DB2 log
files). These R-VOLs should be recovered using the files which are confirmed to be current.
