Whether you can stop migrating the GAD pair and return the operations to the source GAD pair depends on if you are attempting to stop the data migration before or after you suspend the temporary GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL.

Stopping data migration after suspending the temporary GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL

If you are stopping data migration after suspending the temporary GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL, the operations cannot be returned to the source GAD pair.

After the completion of the copy operation for the target GAD pair created on the target storage systems, the operation is enabled on the target storage systems

Stopping data migration before suspending the temporary GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL

If you are stopping data migration before suspending the temporary GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL, the operations can be returned to the source GAD pair by performing the following procedure

  1. Suspend the temporary GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL.
    Command example:
    pairsplit -g oraHA01 -IH0
  2. Verify that the temporary GAD pair has been suspended.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay -g oraHA01 -fcxe -IH0
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W
    QM DM P PR
    oraHA01 dev01(L) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)411111 1111.P-VOL PSUS
    NEVER , 55 1111 - - 1 1 - - - L/L - D
    N D
    oraHA01 dev01(R) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)833333 1111.S-VOL SSUS
    NEVER , 100 1111 - - 1 1 - - - B/B - D
    N D
    
  3. Resynchronize the source GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL.
    Command example:
    pairresync -g oraHA00 -IH0
  4. Verify that the resynchronization of the source GAD pair is complete and the pair status has been migrated to PAIR.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay -g oraHA00 -fcxe -IH0
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W
    QM DM P PR
    oraHA00 dev00(L) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)411111 1111.P-VOL PAIR
    NEVER , 100 2222 - - 0 1 - - - L/M - D
    N D
    oraHA00 dev00(R) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)422222 2222.S-VOL PAIR
    NEVER , 100 1111 - - 0 1 - - - L/M - D
    N D
    
  5. If you want to cancel the GAD pair migration completely, delete the suspended temporary GAD pair.
    Command example:
    pairsplit -g oraHA01 -S -IH0
  6. If you perform step 5, verify that the temporary GAD pair has been deleted.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay -g oraHA01 -fcxe -IH0
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W

    Note: If you skip step 1 and perform step 3, the source GAD pair is not migrated to the PAIR status. In this case, perform step 3, and then step 1.
