The following dependencies affect the performance of pairs that are in the process of Quick Split (PSUS(SP)/PSUS status) or Steady Split (COPY(SP)/COPY status):

  • Whether system option mode (SOM) 459 is ON.
  • Whether the S-VOL is an external or internal volume.
  • If the S-VOL is a DP-VOL.

The following table lists the affects of these conditions.

SOM 459

S-VOL*

PSUS(SP)/PSUS or COPY(SP)/COPY status

OFF

Internal volume

Differential data is copied to the cache in the storage system. The pair is in the process of Quick Split (PSUS(SP)/PSUS status).

External volume

ON

Internal volume

External volume

Differential data is copied to the cache in the storage system, and destaging to the external storage system has completed. The pair is split (PSUS status).

* If the S-VOL is a DP-VOL, this column indicates whether the top pool volume allocated to the S-VOL is internal or external.
