2. Copy and create CCI configuration definition file C.
3. Perform the paircreate operation and register them to configuration definition file C.

To assign existing pairs to an existing consistency group

1. Create CCI configuration definition file A to use with CCI for pair operations.
2. Perform the pairsplit operation on pairs that you want to register in the existing CTG with multiple systems. Do this using configuration definition file A.
3. Perform the pairresync operation without designating a consistency group. Do this using configuration definition file A.
4. Perform the pairsplit operation again using configuration definition file A.
5. Perform the pairsplit operation to the existing configuration definition file B, which consists of the pairs in the multiple primary and secondary system configuration.
6. Add pair information to existing configuration definition file B.
7. Delete then re-create the pairs, registering them in configuration definition file C.
