3. Perform the pairresync operation on the Cnt Ac-S and Cnt Ac-S Z pairs, without designating
a consistency group. Do this using configuration definition file A.
4. Perform the pairsplit operation on the Cnt Ac-S and Cnt Ac-S Z pairs again, using configuration
definition file A.
5. Create RAID Manager configuration definition file C for the multiple primary and secondary
system configuration.
6. Perform the pairresync operation on the Cnt Ac-S and Cnt Ac-S Z pairs and register them to
