You can resynchronize split (PSUS status) or suspend (PSUE status) pairs. Resynchronization changes the status of the split volume pairs to PAIR. Resynchronizing a split pair copies the P-VOL's differential data to the S-VOL and again pairs the S-VOL with the P-VOL. Resynchronizing a suspended pair copies the entire P-VOL to the S-VOL and takes the same amount of time as the initial copy operation.
Note: Resynchronizing a pair does not ensure data consistency. Data in the two volumes is consistent only if the following conditions exist:
- The P-VOL is offline.
- The pair is split (the S-VOL status is PSUS).
For more information about pair status, see Device Manager - Storage Navigator pair status names and descriptions.
Note: If you perform a Quick Restore for a pair consisting of an encrypted volume and an unencrypted volume, the encryption statuses of the volumes are reversed.
