Pair splitting methods

You can use one of the following methods to split pairs:

Steady Split Copies the differential data to the S-VOL, and then splits the pair. The split S-VOL is identical to the P-VOL at the time of the split.
NoteYou cannot Steady Split pairs that are assigned to a consistency group (CTG).
Quick Split The pair is split prior to data copy so that the S-VOL is immediately available for read and write I/O. Any remaining differential data is copied to the S-VOL in the background.
This method can only be used with CCI.
Consistency group pair-split Simultaneously split all of the pairs in a CTG. You can use this method with CCI.
(For CCI) You can Quick Split and Steady Split.

For more information about the methods you can use to split pairs using BCM, see the Business Continuity Manager User Guide.
