Selected Pairs table

The following table shows the items in this table of the Select Secondary Volumes window of the Create SI Pairs wizard.

Item

Description

Primary Volume

The P-VOL information.

Values:

  • LDEV ID: The P-VOL's LDEV identifier.

  • LDEV Name: The P-VOL's LDEV name. A hyphen (-) displays if no LDEV is assigned.

  • Port ID: The port name of the P-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • Host Group Name / iSCSI Target Alias: Host group name (and ID) and iSCSI target alias (and ID) of the P-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • iSCSI Target Name: The P-VOL's iSCSI target name.

  • LUN ID: The LUN identifier of the P-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • Capacity: The P-VOL's volume capacity.

Secondary Volume

The S-VOL information.

Values:

  • LDEV ID: The S-VOL's LDEV identifier.

This item is blank if no LDEV is assigned.

  • LDEV Name: The S-VOL's LDEV name.

A hyphen (-) displays if no LDEV is assigned.

  • Port ID: Port name of the S-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • Host Group Name / iSCSI Target Alias: Host group name (and ID) and iSCSI target alias (and ID) of the S-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • iSCSI Target Name: The S-VOL's iSCSI target name.

  • LUN ID: LUN identifier of the S-VOL LDEV's LUN path.

  • Capacity: The S-VOL's volume capacity.

Copy Type

The types of pairs.

Values:

  • SI-L1: SI L1

  • SI-L2: SI L2

Mirror Unit

SI only.

The mirror unit number.

Split Type

SI only.

The split type.

Values:

  • Non Split: The pair is not split.

  • Quick Split: The pair is split and then the data is copied 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.

  • Steady Split: Differential data is copied, and then the pair is split.

Copy Pace

SI only.

The system option that determines the rate at which you want the VSP G200, G400, G600 storage system to copy data.

Values:

  • Slower: Improved host server I/O performance but slower processing speed.

  • Medium: Average processing speed and host server I/O performance.

  • Faster: Faster processing speed but slower host server I/O performance.

Change Options button

SI only.

Click to open the Change Options dialog box. Options set in the Change Options dialog box will be applied to all the pairs newly created.

Edit Mirror Units button

SI only.

Click to open the Edit Mirror Units dialog box. Use this dialog box to change the S-VOL's L1 and L2 mirror unit numbers, and thereby, pair topology.

For more information about changing the MU number and pair topology, see and Creating L1 and L2 pairs with different topologies the topic on pair creation: click Show All Contents and then select In-System Replication to navigate to the desired software and information.

Remove button

Click to remove the unwanted pairs or LDEV from the Selected Pairs table.

Note: For SI, you cannot remove L1 pairs if the pairs have an L2 pair.
