Continuous Access Synchronous/Business Copy/Continuous Access Journal pair
status
Each Continuous Access Synchronous pair consists of one P-VOL and one S-VOL, and each Business
Copy pair consists of one P-VOL and up to nine S-VOLs when the cascade function is used.
Continuous Access Synchronous and Business Copy pair status (page 142) lists and describes the
Continuous Access Synchronous and Business Copy pair status terms. Continuous Access Journal
pair status (page 143) lists and describes the Continuous Access Journal pair status terms. The P-VOL
controls the pair status for the primary and secondary volumes. The major pair statuses are SMPL,
PAIR, PSUS/PSUE, and COPY/RCPY. Read and write requests from the host are accepted or
rejected depending on the pair status of the volume.
The pair status can change when a RAID Manager command is executed. The validity of the
specified operation is checked according to the status of the volume (primary volume).
• Table 30 (page 144) shows the relationship between pair status and Continuous Access
Synchronous/Continuous Access Journal command acceptance.
• Table 31 (page 144) shows the relationship between pair status and Business Copy command
acceptance.
• Table 32 (page 146) shows the relationship between pair status and Snapshot command
acceptance.
For details on pair status of Continuous Access Synchronous Z, Business Copy Z, and Continuous
Access Journal Z, see (page 87).
