Change Settings window

Use this window in the pair creation wizard to change options that affect how the pair is created.

Item

Description

Base Secondary Volume

Selections for the initial S-VOL.

TC, UR and GAD only.

  • Port ID: Port identifier.

  • Host Group ID/iSCSI Target ID: Host group identifier or iSCSI target identifier.

  • LUN ID: LUN identifier.

(VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) TC-MF and UR-MF only.

  • LDKC: "00" is displayed, cannot be changed.

  • CU: For TC-MF: the CU number of the volume.

For UR-MF: the CU number of the remote system, ranging from 00 to FF.

  • LDEV: LDEV number, ranging from 00 to FF.

  • Interval: The interval for allocating S-VOLs to P-VOLs.

Primary Volume Fence Level

TC or TC-MF only

Whether the P-VOL can be written to when the pair is split due to error.

  • Data: The P-VOL cannot be written to.

  • Status: The P-VOL can be written to only if the primary system can change S-VOL status to PSUE (TC) or Suspend (TC-MF). If the primary system cannot change S-VOL status, the P-VOL cannot be written to.

  • Never: The P-VOL can be written to.

Initial Copy Type

Whether data is copied to the S-VOL when the pair is created.

  • Entire Volume: Data is copied. The default.

  • None: Data is not copied. If you choose this option, you must confirm the data be equal between the P-VOL and S-VOL.

  • Delta: Data is not copied. UR or UR-MF only.

For UR: The status is changed to HOLD or HOLDING as a pair for delta resync.

For UR-MF: The status is changed to Hold or Holding as a pair for delta resync.

Copy Pace

TC, TC-MF, and GAD only.

Number of tracks to be copied per remote I/O during the operation. The default is 15. The range is different depending on the volume emulation type.

  • OPEN-V (TC and GAD): The range is 1 to 4.

- 1 is slow. This setting limits the impact on host I/O to maintain storage system performance.

- 2 and 3 is medium.

- 4 is fast. This setting increases the impact on host I/O and might result in decreased storage system performance.

If you enter a number from 5 to 15, the speed of 4 (fast copy pace) is used.

  • (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500) Other than OPEN-V (TC-MF): You can specify 3 or 15 from the list.

- 3 is slow. This setting limits the impact on host I/O to maintain storage system performance.

- 15 is fast. This setting increases the impact on host I/O and might result in decreased storage system performance.

ALUA Mode

GAD only. Whether ALUA Mode is enabled:

  • Enabled: The LDEV is used in ALUA mode.

  • Disabled: The LDEV is not used in ALUA mode.

Initial Copy Priority

Scheduling order for the initial copy operation: range = 1 to 256, default = 32. Not displayed for GAD.

CFW Data (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TC-MF only.

Whether CFW (DASD fast write) data is copied to the S-VOL.

  • Primary Volume Only: Data not copied (default).

  • Secondary Volume Copy: Data is copied.

Note:

  • To apply the pair option that is set on the P-VOL to the S-VOL, split and then resynchronize the TC-MF pair.

  • Do not specify Primary Volume Only if system option mode (SOM) 1091 is ON. If you do, I/O to the S-VOL might terminate abnormally.

  • Do not set SOM 1091 to ON if you changed the CFW data setting after you created the TC-MF pair. If you do, I/O to the S-VOL might terminate abnormally.

DFW to Secondary Volume (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TC-MF only.

Whether the primary system splits the pair when the secondary system cannot copy DFW data to the S-VOL

  • Require: Splits the pair.

  • Not Require: Does not split.

Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

TC-MF only.

  • Enable: The host I/O time stamp is transferred from P-VOL to S-VOL (default).

  • Disable: The host I/O time stamp is not transferred from P-VOL to S-VOL.

Whether the host I/O time stamp is transferred from P-VOL to S-VOL.

Error Level

UR and UR-MF only.

Whether to split all pairs in the mirror if a failure occurs during this operation:

  • LU: Only the failed pair is split. UR only.

  • Mirror: Pairs in the mirror are split.

  • Volume: Only the failed pair is split.

CFW (VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500)

UR-MF only.

Whether to copy cache fast write (CFW) data to the S-VOL.

  • Primary Volume Only: Does not copy. Default.

  • Secondary Volume Copy: Copies.
