Use the following procedure to recover the pinned track and secure the entire data integrity of the pair at the same time:

  1. Connect to the storage system of the primary site for a GAD pair that contains the pinned track volume, and then select a correct CU.
  2. Remove the GAD pair that contains the pinned track volume.
  3. Perform a normal procedure for recovering data from the pinned track. Use the pinned track recovery procedure of the OS that is being used, or contact customer support.
  4. Use the paircreate command to re-create the GAD pair. Do not specify the -nocopy option of the command.
