TC pair status

  • TC pair status is reported to the host if you query the TC P-VOL or S-VOL. To obtain the SI pair status, query the SI P-VOL pair.
  • SI supports multiple S-VOLs for each of its P-VOLs, but when you issue a pair status query, the status is returned only for the pair whose S-VOL has the lowest LUN. To check pair status for the other S-VOLs, direct a host query to the specific S-VOL using the S-VOL's LUN in the host command.

    Device Manager - Storage Navigator displays the status of all S-VOLs.

The following table shows when data is current on a shared TC/SI volume based on the pair statuses.
