Host access after split – HP XP Racks User Manual
Page 29

•
If a split operation is in progress when I/O processing on the pairs begins, the split operation
on the pairs is given priority. After the pair is split, then the I/O processing begins.
•
Data consistency cannot be ensured when all of the following conditions exist:
- A port is blocked.
- A split command is in progress.
- I/O processing begins.
In such a case, resynchronize the consistency group and then run the split command again.
Host access after split
You can specify settings for read/write access to the P-VOL/P-VOL and S-VOL/S-VOL in consistency
groups after pairs are split. These settings are specified using RAID Manager or Business Continuity
Manager.
•
The RAID Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S are optional.
•
The Business Continuity Manager settings for Cnt Ac-S Z are required.
The following tables show the effects of the settings on read and write access.
