The following request splits TrueCopy pairs or Universal Replicator pairs by using the specified copy group. If the pairs are split, data copy from the primary volume to the secondary volume will be suspended. Do not simultaneously perform other operations on the copy group or the pairs in that copy group on which a pair split operation is performed.
Tip: We recommend specifying Job-Mode-Wait-Configuration-Change:NoWait in the request header of this API function. For details, see the description of the flow of operations for the pairs.

Execution permission

Storage Administrator (Remote Copy)

Request line

POST base-URL/v1/objects/remote-mirror-copygroups/object-ID/actions/split/invoke

Request message

Object ID

Specify the value of remoteMirrorCopyGroupId that was obtained by the processing to get information about the remote copy group. You can also specify the attributes and connect them with commas as follows:

remoteStorageDeviceId,copyGroupName,localDeviceGroupName,remoteDeviceGroupName

Attribute

Type

Description

remoteStorageDeviceId

string

(Required) Storage device ID of the remote storage system

copyGroupName

string

(Required) Copy group name

Specify a name consisting of 1 to 31 characters. The name is case sensitive.

localDeviceGroupName

string

(Required) Device group name in the local storage system

Specify a name consisting of 1 to 31 characters. The name is case sensitive.

remoteDeviceGroupName

string

(Required) Device group name in the remote storage system

Specify a name consisting of 1 to 31 characters. The name is case sensitive.

Query parameters

None.

Body

The following is a coding example for simply splitting pairs:

{
  "parameters": {
    "replicationType": "TC"
  }
}

The following is a coding example for splitting pairs by specifying the S-VOL, and forcibly changing the status of the pairs of the S-VOL to SSWS:

{
  "parameters": {
    "replicationType": "UR",
    "svolOperationMode": "SSWS"
  }
}

The following is a TrueCopy coding example for splitting pairs and prohibiting write operations for the P-VOL:

{
  "parameters": {
    "replicationType": "TC",
    "doPvolWriteProtect": true
  }
}

The following is a Universal Replicator coding example for splitting pairs and forcibly stopping operations on a journal volume:

{
  "parameters": {
    "replicationType": "UR",
    "doDataSuspend": true
  }
}

Attribute

Type

Description

replicationType

string

(Required) Specify the pair type.

  • TC: TrueCopy
  • UR: Universal Replicator

svolAccessMode

string

(Optional) Specify the access mode for the S-VOL after pairs are split.

  • r: Read only
  • rw: Read and write

If the value is not specified, r will be set.

If you specify this attribute, you cannot specify the svolOperationMode attribute. In the case of TC, you cannot specify true for the doPvolWriteProtect attribute. In the case of UR, you cannot specify true for the doDataSuspend attribute.

svolOperationMode

string

(Optional) Specify this attribute to forcibly change the status of the pairs of the S-VOL in cases such as if a failure occurs in the storage system of the primary site. Issue a request from the storage system of the secondary site.

  • SSWS: Change to SSWS mode.
  • PSUS: Change to PSUS (PSUE or PSUS) mode.

If you specify this attribute, you cannot specify the svolAccessMode attribute. In the case of TC, you cannot specify true for the doPvolWriteProtect attribute. In the case of UR, you cannot specify true for the doDataSuspend attribute.

doPvolWriteProtect

boolean

(Optional) In the case of TC, specify whether to forcibly disable write operations for the P-VOL. Issue a request from the storage system of the secondary site.

  • true: Disable write operations for P-VOL.
  • false: Do not disable write operations for P-VOL.

If the value is not specified, false will be set.

If you specify true for this attribute, you cannot specify the svolAccessMode and svolOperationMode attributes.

doDataSuspend

boolean

(Optional) In the case of UR, specify whether to forcibly stop operations on a journal when the amount of access to the journal increases. Issue a request from the storage system of the primary site.

  • true: Forcibly stop operations on the journal.

    Data is not copied to the group on the S-VOL. The data of the master journal volume and the restore journal volume is deleted.

  • false: Do not forcibly stop operations on the journal.

If the value is not specified, false will be set.

If you specify true for this attribute, you cannot specify the svolOperationMode attribute. However, you can specify only rw for the svolAccessMode attribute.

Response message

Body
A job object is returned. For details on attributes other than affectedResources, see the section explaining job objects.

Attribute

Description

affectedResources

URL of the copy group of the split TrueCopy pairs or Universal Replicator pairs

Action template

GET base-URL/v1/objects/remote-mirror-copygroups/object-ID/actions/split

This action template returns only the specifiable attributes, depending on the following: the type of the pairs of the copy group specified for the object ID, and whether the volume in the copy group of the local storage system is the primary volume or the secondary volume.

Status codes

The following table describes the meaning of the status code of the request for this operation. For details on other status codes, see the section explaining HTTP status codes.

Status code

Message

Description

412

Precondition Failed

This status code indicates that operations on the pairs of the specified copy group cannot be performed.

Coding example

To get an action template:

When the storage system of the P-VOL is specified:

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Remote-Authorization:Session 10399a1ffce3489b9c3a823017462396" -H "Authorization:Session d7b673af189048468c5af9bcf3bbbb6f" -X GET https://192.0.2.100/ConfigurationManager/v1/objects/remote-mirror-copygroups/886000123789,remoteCopyGroup,remoteCopyGroupP_,remoteCopyGroupS_/actions/split

When the storage system of the S-VOL is specified:

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Remote-Authorization:Session 10399a1ffce3489b9c3a823017462396" -H "Authorization:Session d7b673af189048468c5af9bcf3bbbb6f" -X GET https://192.0.2.100/ConfigurationManager/v1/objects/remote-mirror-copygroups/886000123456,remoteCopyGroup,remoteCopyGroupS_,remoteCopyGroupP_/actions/split

To run the request after getting an action template:
