(For the RAID Manager status names, see “RAID Manager pair status names” (page 54).
S-VOL accessDescriptionRWC Status
N/AThe volume is not assigned to a pair. The storage system accepts read/write for SMPL
volumes that are not reserved.
SMPL
Note: If the volume is in SMPL status, the status is not shown in RWC.
Read/write
disabled
The pair is being deleted. Pair operations are not allowed in this status. Upon deletion,
the status changes to SMPL.
SMPL(PD)
Read onlyThe paircreate initial copy is in progress.* The storage system accepts read/write to
the P-VOL but stops write operations to the S-VOL.
COPY(PD)/COPY
Read onlyThe initial copy operation is complete and the volumes are paired. The storage system
performs update copy operations from P-VOL to S-VOL. The P-VOL and S-VOL in PAIR
status may not be identical.
PAIR
Read onlyThe pair is in the process of Steady Split. Any remaining differential data is copied
to the S-VOL. When this is completed, the pair is split and the data in the S-VOL is
identical to data in the P-VOL at the time of the split.
COPY(SP)/COPY
Read/write
enabled. The
The pair is in the process of Quick Split. P-VOL differential data is copied to the S-VOL
in the background. Pairs cannot be deleted.

enabled S-VOL can

The pair is split. The storage system stops performing update copy operations. Write
I/Os are accepted for S-VOL. The storage system keeps track of updates to split P-VOLs
and S-VOL, so that the pair can be resynchronized quickly.
PSUS
Read onlyThe pairresync operation is in progress. The storage system does not accept write
I/Os for S-VOL. When a split pair is resynchronized, the storage system copies only
COPY(RS)/COPY
P-VOL differential data to the S-VOL. When a suspended pair is resynchronized, the
storage system copies the entire P-VOL to the S-VOL.
Read onlyThe reverse pairresync operation is in progress. The storage system copies only S-VOL
differential data to the P-VOL. No update copy operations are performed during
Reverse Copy or Quick Restore. Write I/O operations to S-VOL are rejected.
COPY(RS-R)/RCPY
Read onlyThe pair is suspended by the storage system. The storage system continues accepting
read and write I/Os to the P-VOL. Update copy operations are stopped to a S-VOL.
PSUE
The storage system marks the entire P-VOL as differential data, resulting in entire P-VOL
being copied to the S-VOL when the pair is resynchronized.
* Starting time of the copy depends on the numbers of pairs and the storage system environment.
