Figure 7 Forward Pairresync Operations
CAUTION:
Even if the copy operation is completed without any host I/O, the data in the S-VOL and the data in
the T-VOL may not be the same. Whether the S-VOL and the T-VOL have the same data depends on
the condition of the storage system. To make the S-VOL data and the T-VOL data equal, split the pair
and make the pair status

.
Backward Pairresync Operation
Backward pairresync operation resynchronizes the pairs by copying the data of T-VOLs to S-VOLs. There
are two kinds of the backward pairresync operation; the reverse pairresync operation and the quick
restore pairresync operation.
•
Reverse: The reverse copy operation (see
on page 33) synchronizes the S-VOL with the
T-VOL. The copy direction for a reverse copy operation is T-VOL to S-VOL. lists the operational
requirements for the reverse copy operation. The pair status during a reverse copy operation is
resync-r, and the S-VOL and T-VOL become inaccessible to all hosts for write operations during a
reverse copy operation. As soon as the reverse copy operation is complete, the S-VOL becomes
