Pair Status
Simplex
Status when the volume has not been paired or
when the pair has been deleted. The volume has no
SnapShot association with another volume.
Paired
The data of the P-VOL and the V-VOL is in the same
status. However, since Read to the V-VOL in the
Paired status and the Write access cannot be
performed, it is actually the same as Simplex.
Synchronizing Initial or update copy is in progress.
Reverse
P-VOL restoration from V-VOL is in progress. Status
Synchronizing
returns to Paired when restoration is completed.
When a failure occurs, or the pair is split during
restoration, V-VOL status is correlated with the P-
VOL status. Any status other than Simplex being
restored becomes Failure
Split
The snapshot is executed and P-VOL data is updated
in the V-VOL. In this state, access from a host to a
P-VOL is lowered.
Threshold
Threshold value for the data pool is exceeded;
Over
warning status.
Failure
Copying is suspended due to a hardware failure or
data pool overflow. All V-VOLs become invalid.
