Pinned track recovery for Continuous Access XP volumes
If a pinned track occurs on a Continuous Access XP P-VOL or S-VOL, the MCU suspends the pair (SIM
reference code = DB1x).
To ensure full data integrity of the volume pair while recovering the pinned track, use the following
procedure:
1. Connect to the MCU of the Continuous Access XP pair containing the volume with the pinned track,
and select the correct CU image.
2. Delete the Continuous Access XP pair (pairsplit-S) containing the volume with the pinned track.
NOTE: If you delete the Continuous Access XP Asynchronous volume pair, delete only the pair
containing the volume with the pinned track. To do this, select LU for Asynchronous Parameters, and
click Delete Range.
3. If the volume is offline (for example, S-VOL has a pinned track), vary the volume online.
4. Perform your usual procedure for recovering data from a pinned track. See the pinned track recovery
procedures for your operating system, or contact your HP account support representative for assistance
in recovering the pinned track.
5. If the volume was previously offline (for example, S-VOL), vary the volume offline again.
6. Restart the volume pair using the Paircreate command from the Pair Operation tab of the Continuous
Access XP main pane. From the Paircreate Parameter pane, select Entire for the Method field of the
Initial copy parameter (see ”Creating Continuous Access XP volume pairs (Paircreate)” on page 90).
