When the P-VOL cannot be used due to a full pool, the GAD pair is suspended.

The following table shows the transitions for pair status and I/O mode, the volumes that are accessible from the server, and the location of the latest data when you can no longer use the P-VOL due to full pool.

  1. Increase the available pool capacity to the P-VOL.
  2. Resynchronize the pair.
    If a failure occurs after the one volume capacity of a GAD pair can be expanded, the creation, resync, swap resync, and horctakeover operations of the GAD pair cannot be performed because the capacity of both the volumes is not the same. Make sure to expand the other volume capacity so that the capacity of both the volumes is the same, and then retry the operation.
