  1. The pair status when a pair that uses the volume on which a failure occurred accepts the I/Os from the servers. If the error level of the UR pair is set to Mirror, all UR pairs belonging to the mirror are in this pair status.

When recovering from this failure, you must perform this failure recovery operations in the target UR site, and then remove the source UR environment because the system environmental migration for the remote copy function is complete.



  1. Delete the target UR pair that uses the failed volume.
    pairsplit -g oraUR01 -d dev20 -S -IH3
  2. Remove the failure on the UR S-VOL at the target UR secondary site, and then recover the S-VOL (Format the S-VOL if the formatting is required for the recovery).
  3. Resynchronize the target UR pair if the target UR pair is suspended.
    pairresync -g oraUR01 -IH3
  4. Recreate a target UR pair that previously used the failed volume.
    paircreate -g oraUR01 -d dev20 -f async -vl -jp 0 -js 0 -IH3
  5. Remove the source UR environment in accordance with the procedure in Removing the source environment.
