By default, for pair split (Non Split, Steady Split, or Quick Split), the maximum multiple copy processing for each pair is set to 24. However, if you set the Quick/Steady Split Multiplexing option of the local replica option to OFF, the multiplicity can be changed to 1. Make sure to set the Quick/Steady Split Multiplexing option to OFF if the host I/O performance is prioritized. The local replica options can be set using HDvM - SN or CCI.

You can use one of the following methods to split pairs:

HDvM - SN

CCI

Description

Non Split

paircreate

Pairs are not split after they are created.

Steady Split

paircreate –split -fq normal

When copy of all differential data completes, the pairs are split.

Quick Split

paircreate –split -fq quick

Pairs are split immediately after pair split is specified. Use this method if you want to read or write data of the S-VOL immediately after pair split is specified. Remaining differential data is copied to the S-VOL in background after the split.

-

paircreate –g <group> -m grp [CTG ID]

Split all pairs in a consistency group at one time. CCI is required for this operation. For details, see the Command Control Interface User and Reference Guide.
