Thin Image pair status definitions

The P-VOL and V-VOL access columns in the following table indicate whether the volumes accept read/write.

For more information about the corresponding RAID Manager pair command results, see RAID Manager pair command results.

The following table describes the Thin Image pair status definitions, the S-VOL access for the status, and the corresponding status that is shown in RAID Manager.

Pair status

Description

S-VOL access

Status shown in RAID Manager

SMPL(PD)

The pair is in the process of being deleted. You cannot perform pair tasks when the pair is in this status, and you cannot assign an S-VOL to snapshot data, release an assignment, or change an assignment. When the process completes, volumes are unpaired.

Read/write disabled.

SMPL1

SMPP

The cascaded pair or the pair with the clone attribute is in the process of being deleted. You cannot perform pair tasks when the pair is in this process. When the process completes, volumes are unpaired.

Read/write disabled.

SMPL1

COPY

The storage system has accepted the paircreate RAID Manager command.

The P-VOL accepts read/write operations, but the S-VOLs do not accept read/write operations.

Read/write disabled.

COPY

PAIR

The volumes are paired.

The S-VOL does not accept read/write operations.

Read/write disabled.

PAIR

PFUL

While the volumes are paired ("PAIR" status), you exceeded the data pool threshold.

Read/write disabled.

PFUL

PFUS

While the pair is split ("PSUS" status), you exceeded the data pool threshold.

Read/write enabled.

PFUS

PSUS

The pair with the snapshot attribute is split.

The S-VOL can accept read/write operations. The storage system records differential data between the P-VOL and S-VOLs so that you can immediately resynchronize the pair.

Read/write enabled. Can be mounted.

PSUS for P-VOLs

SSUS for S-VOLs

PSUS(SP)

The pair with the clone attribute is split. The S-VOL accepts read/write operations.

Read/write enabled. Can be mounted.

PSUP

RCPY

A Reverse Copy is in progress. The S-VOL does not accept read/write operations2. The starting time of the copy depends on the number of pairs in your storage system.

Only S-VOL differential data is copied to the P-VOL. The Update Copy operation is not performed during Reverse Copy or Quick Restore.

Read/Write disabled.

RCPY

PSUE

The pair is suspended.

The S-VOL does not accept read/write operations.

Read/Write disabled.

PSUE

Notes:

1. SMPL/SMPP is displayed if the -key opt option is specified for the raidcom get snapshot command. SMPP appears when cascaded or cloned pairs are being deleted.

2. Starting time of the copy depends on numbers of pairs and your system environment.
