Device Manager - Storage Navigator pair status names and descriptions

The following table lists HDvM - SN pair status names and descriptions, including the level of S-VOL access.

HDvM - SN status

Description

P-VOL access

S-VOL access

SMPL

The volume is not part of a pair.

Read/write enabled

Read/write enabled

SMPL(PD)

The pair is in the process of being deleted.

Read/write disabled4

Read/write disabled

COPY(PD)/COPY2

The paircreate initial copy is in progress.1 The storage system accepts read/write to the P-VOL but does not accept write operations to the S-VOL.

Read/write enabled

Read only

PAIR

The initial copy operation has completed and the volumes are paired. The storage system performs update copy operations.

Data consistency is not ensured for SI pairs in this status.

Read/write enabled

Read only

COPY(SP)/COPY2

The pair is in the process of being Steady Split. The storage system:

  1. Copies the differential data to the S-VOL.1 The data in the S-VOL is identical to the data in the P-VOL.
  2. Splits the pair.

Read/write enabled

Read only

PSUS(SP)/PSUS2

The pair is in the process of being Quick Split. The differential data is copied to the S-VOL in the background.1 You cannot delete pairs in this status.

Read/write enabled

Read/write enabled

PSUS3

The pair has been split. The storage system stops performing update copy operations but accepts write I/Os for the S-VOL. The storage system keeps track of updates to split P-VOLs and S-VOL so that you can Quick Resync.

Read/write enabled

Read/write enabled

COPY(RS)/COPY2

The pairresync RAID Manager command is in progress. The storage system does not accept write I/Os for S-VOL.1 Resynchronizing split pairs copies only the differential data to the S-VOL.

Read/write enabled

Read only

COPY(RS-R)/RCPY2

The reverse pairresync RAID Manager command is in progress. The storage system copies only the S-VOL differential data to the P-VOL. The storage system does not perform update copy operations during a Reverse Copy or a Quick Restore. The storage system does not accept write I/O operations to S-VOL.1

Read/write disabled

Read only

PSUE

The storage system does the following:

  • Suspends the pair.
  • Continues accepting read and write I/Os to the P-VOL.
  • Stops update copy operations to the S-VOL.
  • Marks the P-VOL as differential data. Resynchronizing a pair copies the P-VOL to the S-VOL.

Read/write enabled

Read only

Notes:

  1. The starting time of the copy depends on the numbers of pairs and the storage system environment.
  2. The pair status is displayed in the format of screen pair status/RAID Manager pair status.
  3. RAID Manager display is as follows:
    • P-VOL: PSUS
    • S-VOL: SSUS
  4. If the status was Read/write enabled before the transition to SMPL(PD), it is Read/write enabled.
