When an SI pair is deleted, the volume status changes from SMPL(PD) to SMPL. Wait until the volume status changes to SMPL before you run a command (recommended wait time: 10 sec). Otherwise, the command might terminate abnormally.
You can use the CCI pairdisplay command to check the volume status, but this command cannot differentiate SMPL from SMPL(PD). To differentiate them in CCI, use the inqraid command to check if the volume is used by SI. If it is used by SI, the status is SMPL(PD). If it is not used by SI, the status is SMPL.
To perform this task in CCI, use the pairsplit -S command.
- The P-VOL and the S-VOL must be synchronized.
- The pair must not be in the process of being deleted (SMPL(PD) status).
- The volumes must not be in the process of being unpaired (SMPL(PD) status).
