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

CCI 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)2

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)2

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)2

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

PSUS

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)2

COPY2

The pairresync CCI 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)2

RCPY2

The reverse pairresync CCI 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/CCI pair status.
  3. CCI 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.
