Monitoring SI pair status and available activity

The activity and status of SI pairs can be monitored using BCM, PPRC, z/OS console messages, and HDvM - SN. This section explains how to use HDvM - SN to monitor SI pairs.

The status of pairs displayed by HDvM - SN changes as the pairs status change in the storage system and the displayed state is refreshed by HDvM - SN. If you want the HDvM - SN displayed information to refresh sooner than it regularly does, click the refresh icon in the upper left.

Unpaired P-VOLs and S-VOLs are not shown in HDvM - SN.

In Hitachi Command Suite:

On the Resources tab, click Storage Systems, expand the storage system tree, right-click the target storage system, and then select Local Replication.

In Device Manager - Storage Navigator:

In the Explorer pane, click Storage Systems, expand the storage system tree, and then click Replication > Local Replication.

HDvM - SN and the CCI pair status names are shown in the Status column in the format of "HDvM - SN status"/"CCI status", unless the names are the same. If they are the same, only the HDvM - SN status is shown.
