Select the correct volumes.

An SI error message is displayed in HDvM - SN during a task.

Check the error message for the failed task in HDvM - SN.

Note: You can use HDvM - SN to set up email notifications of errors that occur during pair user tasks.

Pair status is incorrect (or unexpected).

The pair may have been suspended or deleted from the UNIX/PC server host using a CCI command. If this did not happen, then VSP G200, G400, G600 detected an error condition during SI tasks. Check the HDvM - SN error log. If necessary, call the Support Center.
