You should understand what GAD operations you can perform given the Volume Migration pair status and whether the GAD P-VOL or S-VOL is shared by Volume Migration.

The following table describes operations you can perform according to the Volume Migration pair status when the GAD P-VOL is shared by Volume Migration.

Note:
  1. You can delete a GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL, only when the I/O mode is Local and the GAD pair status of the P-VOL is PSUS or PSUE.
  2. You can delete a GAD pair by specifying the S-VOL, only when the I/O mode is Local and the GAD pair status of the S-VOL is SSWS.
  3. Cannot be performed because the virtual LDEV ID of the GAD P-VOL (volume for Volume Migration) is deleted if you specify the S-VOL to delete the GAD pair.
  4. To perform Volume Migration, you must suspend the GAD pair.
  5. To perform Volume Migration, you must suspend the GAD pair. Therefore, you can suspend the GAD pair, however the status of the GAD pair does not change because the GAD pair is already suspended.

The following table describes operations you can perform according to the Volume Migration pair status when the GAD S-VOL is shared by Volume Migration.

Note:
  1. You can delete a GAD pair by specifying the primary volume, only when the I/O mode is Local and the GAD pair status of the primary volume is PSUS or PSUE.
  2. You can delete a GAD pair by specifying the secondary volume, only when the I/O mode is Local and the GAD pair status of the secondary volume is SSWS.
  3. To create a GAD pair, you must assign the GAD reserve attribute to the volume used as an S-VOL. Because the virtual LDEV ID of the volume to which the GAD reserve attribute is assigned is deleted, you cannot create a GAD pair by specifying the volume used for Volume Migration as the S-VOL of the pair.
  4. Cannot be performed because the virtual LDEV ID of the GAD S-VOL (volume for Volume Migration) is deleted if you specify the P-VOL to delete the GAD pair.
  5. To perform Volume Migration, you must suspend the GAD pair. Therefore, you can suspend the GAD pair, however the status of the GAD pair does not change because the GAD pair is already suspended.
