The GAD status changes depending on the pair operation and failure.
The following illustration shows the GAD pair status transitions.
If you resynchronize a pair specifying the P-VOL, I/O continues on the P-VOL. If you resynchronize a pair specifying the S-VOL, the data flow switches from the S-VOL to the P-VOL, and then I/O continues on the new P-VOL.
If you suspend a pair specifying the P-VOL, I/O continues to the P-VOL. If you suspend a pair specifying the S-VOL, I/O continues to the S-VOL.
