Continuous Access XP main pane (Pair Operation pane)
The first pane that appears after clicking the CA tab is the Continuous Access XP main pane, also known
as the Pair Operation pane. To display this pane, click Pair Operation on other Continuous Access XP
panes.
The Continuous Access XP main pane displays information about the selected CU image of the connected
disk array. From this pane, you can configure volume pairs. This section describes components of the
Continuous Access XP main pane. For information about Continuous Access XP volume pair configuration,
see ”Performing Continuous Access XP pair operations” on page 87.
Information displayed on the Continuous Access XP main pane is updated when the Continuous Access XP
main pane is opened, the tab is switched from one to another, and Refresh ( ) is clicked. The pair
information is also updated by clicking Apply.
The Continuous Access XP main pane contains the following items:
• CU Number/Port Number tree: Subsystem folder displays CUs, ports, and host groups. Only the
CU/Port containing LUs is shown in the CU Number/Port Number tree. A CU number or port number
can be selected in the CU Number/Port Number tree to specify information displayed in the Volume
list. You cannot select more than one CU number or port number. When a CU includes a volume pair
of error suspended status, an error icon ( ) is shown on the CU number/port number.
• Volume list: Information for each volume (LU) of the connected disk array (see ”Volume list” on
page 48). Information displayed in this list is sorted in Port number order by default. Information about
LUs defined for several paths is displayed in several rows (as many as the path defined).
• Display Filter button: Opens the Display Filter pane (see ”Display Filter pane” on page 50), which you
use to select volumes displayed on the Volume list. Select volumes by specifying pair status, pair type,
and group number.
• Snapshot button: Writes the user-selected TrueCopy pair status information to a text file.
• Previous and Next buttons: In the Volume list, displays eight to twelve rows of LU information at one
time. The 256 rows can be displayed using the scroll bar. The Previous/Next buttons switches the
Volume list to the previous or next 256 rows.
Volume list
This list displays information about each volume (LU) of the connected disk array. Information displayed in

be displayed at one time. To see all items in the list, use the scroll bar below the Volume list.
